I want to be able to change the order in which the link categories are stacked.
Right now the categorie headings sort in alphabetical order. When I go into edit Link Categories, it looks like I have the option to sort ("sort order") by "ID", yet I see no place to edit the ID number of the categorie.
Thanks
Maybe use the Rank instead. But you canNOT change ID, though you could change the description associated with each and then reassign those Link Categories to the Link but that's ugly.

What's Rank? Do you mean Rating?
In either case, how/where do you change it?

you _could_ edit the category tile plugin, which is a mere wrapper of the wp function (it's located in plugins/sem-theme/tile-category.php).
that said, try this trick, as it is much more flexible: put extra spaces in front of your category names, and notice that the ones with the most spaces in front of them come in front.

Denis,
That space trick alone was worth $300. The rest is gravy.
Thanks for all the other assistance too. My blog is starting to take shape.
Funny that the Semiologic Pro blog page of my site has PR5 after 3 days of existence. Not that it means anything or will last but somehow nice to see anyway.

ok, i'm trying to do what was mentioned here with my link categories.
I'm not a coder, and really new at this so I'm going to make an assumption and say that you mean open the sidebar.php and put spaces in the link category names like so:
<div class="sideheading"> categories</div>
<div class="sideheading"> archive</div>
Ok, if that is correct, I only have one problem left. I created an 'artwork' and 'links' link categories via the WP admin tool. Problem is, those don't show in my sidebar.php, but they do appear on my page. Check it out: http://www.davidryanpaul.com
How do I make this change so that 'artwork' can appear at the very top of the list?
