   I embedded wordpress into my website and use it to update my website.

   I would like to change my categories on the sidebar to not be in alphabetical order because I would like MY LINKS to be the first category on my sidebar.

   Is there a way to do this in the admin without modifying code?

   If I am being unclear, check out my website side bar.

   With the template tag, wp_list_bookmarks(), link categories can be ordered by # name, id, slug, count, or term_group via the category_orderby= argument.

   Also might look at:

   I downloaded My Link Order and activated it, but it did not work. I have had this issue in the past. I am not sure if it has something to do with embedding wordpress into my domain space.

   Thank you for the help!

   I downloaded My Link Order and activated it, but it did not work.

   You didn't say so will confirm that you then visited the Links->My Link Order option and established the order of your Link Categories, correct?

   Also make sure you are using the My Link Order widget, or if using the wp_list_bookmarks template you need something like this in your sidebar.php (or appropriate template file):

   <?php wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order'); ?>

   Thanks Mike; it would be good if it were explicitly stated that the Link Order widget needs to be placed in a sidebar for it all to work. I missed that at first.

   What a great plugin.
