   I've successfully been able to include my custom taxonomy in a template page for a hierarchical taxonomy. However I cannot figure out what I need to do in the code for the template page to display the items according to their hierarchy.

   Using
   <?php echo get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'clipart-theme', "Theme: ", ' &raquo; ' ) ?>

   It just displays the parent & child terms alphabetically. What I want is for it to reflect the relationship.

   For example, if my hierarchy is Beer (parent category) and then Amstel Light (child category), the above code outputs as Amstel Light >> Beer, but I want it to display as Beer >> Amstel Light.

   What do I need to do to make this happen?

   Oh and maybe I should mention that I am displaying these items on a custom post type.

   Hi, the forums now really sucks. I don't have any reply in my last 5-6 threads.

   What you are want to do is breadcrumb trail. you can use this pluin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/breadcrumb-trail/ and see if it works. Not sure if it will work with custom taxonomy but the current version says compatible upto WP 3.0.4 so no harm to try :)

   I'll give it a try, thanks for the tip! Glad it works in a template, that's key.

   If you are stilling looking I think what you want is the wp_list_categories function - specify the custom taxonomy name in the taxonomy argument. It is working for me with a template specific to a custom post type.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_categories

   For example add the following to your template:

   <ul>
                   <?php
                     $args = array(
                       'orderby'            => 'ID',
                       'order'              => 'ASC',
                       'style'              => 'list',
                       'show_count'         => 1,
                       'hide_empty'         => 0,
                       'use_desc_for_title' => 1,
                       'child_of'           => 0,
                       'hierarchical'       => true,
                       'title_li'           => __( 'Directory Organization' ),
                       'show_option_none'   => __('No Directory Orgs'),
                       'number'             => NULL,
                       'echo'               => 1,
                       'depth'              => 0,
                       'current_category'   => 0,
                       'pad_counts'         => 1,
                       'taxonomy'           => 'directory',
                       'walker'             => 'Walker_Category' );
                     wp_list_categories($args); ?>
                 </ul>
