   I have a post which is related to 3 categories, top level category, city and street.

   I want to display the categories in the following order: City > Street (excluding top category)

   The following code displays the categories in alphabetical order:
   

   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       echo $category->cat_name . ' >';
   }

   The function get_the_category has no means of displaying it parent / child order.

   So how can I display the categories in parent / child order like wp list categories ?

   PS. No, I can't use wp_list_categories() because it has no relation the the post and lists all parent / child categories.

   Any help appreciated.

   Looks like 2.6 bugs are dominating this forum right now. But I'll bump this question anyway :)

   Is the solution for my problem to do a direct query to the database?

   yes, this issue has been present for some time now, and is most annoying.I have as yet not figured a fix. I think it's up to the WP team to sort out.
