   Ok so to order categories by name you do this;
   wp_list_cats('sort_column=name')

   In the database table, the fields are called cat_name and cat_id. so wp_list_cats add a prefix of 'cat_' to whatever you pass in to this function.

   So how can you order them by the number of posts?

   Passing in 'category_count' brings up an unknown error as column 'cat_category_count' is missing. Just using 'count' obviously doesn't work either.

   Any ideas?
   Thanks

   Hmm, has no-one wanted to do this before?

   Ok I found this, but it only lets you manually order categories, not just list then in order of number of posts in the categories
