   Hi amitrozen,

   You can do it by retrieving categories using custom query. This article might help you:

    Hi,

    Use the following code to display categories order by ID

    <div id="middle" class="clearfloat">
    	<?php
    		global $wpdb;
    		$query = "select t.term_id, t.name, t.slug, tx.description as catDes from $wpdb->terms t, $wpdb->term_taxonomy tx where t.term_id = tx.term_id and tx.taxonomy = 'category' order by t.term_id";
    		$results = $wpdb->get_results($query);
    		foreach ($results as $result) {
    			$catPermalink = get_bloginfo('url') . "/category/" . $result->slug . "/";
    			?>
    				<div id="cat-<?php echo $result->id; ?>" class="category" onclick="window.location.href='<?php echo $catPermalink;?>';">
    					<span class="cat_title"><?php echo $result->name ?></span>
    					<p><?php echo $result->catDes;?></p>
    				</div>
    			<?php
    		}
    	?>
    </div>

    I think this is a typo mistake.

    Replace <?php echo $result->id; ?> with <?php echo $result->term_id; ?> in line # 9

    Hope it works for you.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Theme developer use get_categories() function of wordpress for list categories in this theme.

    By default this function display list of categories order by name. You can change it by adding a parameter get_categories() function as get_categories('orderby=ID').

    For more details of this function go to http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories

    I found get_categories() function following pages:

    1. header.php
    2. sidebar.php
    3. functions.php
    4. index.php

    Replace get_categories('hide_empty=0') with get_categories('hide_empty=0&orderby=ID') in above mentioned pages where you want to change order of categories.

    Hope now it works fine for you.

    Note: please take a backup before making any changes.

    Also replied over mail.
    Thanks
    Kapil Jain
