   Hi,

   I need to also get each category id from wp_list_categories function. Is it possible?

   the id is part of the markup:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Markup_and_Styling_of_Category_Lists

   but obviously not directly accessible;

   if you explain why and what you need the id for, someone might be able to suggest more details.

   or use get_categories() instead

   As alchymyth said, use get_categories()

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'orderby' => 'name',
     'order' => 'ASC'
     );
   
   $categories = get_categories($args);
   
   //now you have all categories inside an array and can use foreach loop to go through all category information.
   
   foreach($categories as $category){
       // do suff with category id $category->cat_ID
   }
   ?>
