How do I sort the link categories when adding a new link? (5 posts)

    Once logged into wp-admin, when you are adding a new link in the link section, I need to know how to sort the link categories section. I would like them to be in order alphabetically. Right now they are in no order, not even the order created. Please help, I have many categories now and it is so hard to find what I am looking for when adding links!

    Thank you in advance!

    Those link categories seem to be in name/alpha order. Wonder if you have a plugin that's causing that.

    The link categories are displayed wp-admin/edit-link-categories.php so you would need add the orderby argument to link 141 in that file. Changing core files is discouraged.

    See Function_Reference/get_terms as that is what is used to retrieve link categories.

    This location seems to change the link categories page and nothing more. I am using this logic and looking for the right file and place in the file to put this. Where do I need to change this? I am looking to change the little menu in the "new link" page.
