   Hello,

   I am trying to find a way to do the following :

   I have multiple departments, a team of persons, each attached to one dept. The number AND ORDER of departments are likely to evolve in the future.

   I want to use categories for the departments : direction; sales; etc... all under the DEPARTMENTS category Wich means I need to be able to REORDER them if needed. I thought this plug in could offer what I wanted... but i can't seem to be able to use it the way I want.

   The team is currently shown on the DEPARTMENTS category 'page' using the following code :
   

   global $ancestor;
   $childcats = get_categories('child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');
   foreach ($childcats as $childcat) {
   	echo '<h2>'.category_description($childcat->cat_ID).'</h2>';
     if (cat_is_ancestor_of($ancestor, $childcat->cat_ID) == false){
   query_posts(array ( 'order' => 'asc', 'category__in' => array($childcat->cat_ID),'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'meta_key' => 'classement_equipe' ));
   	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   	echo '<div class="featured-thumbnail">'; the_post_thumbnail(); echo '</div>';
   	the_content(__('[+]'));
   	endwhile; else:
   	echo 'error';
   	endif;

   When I change the category order, it doesnt affect this code... Any idea on how to do it ?

   (Note that I am totally open to other ways to achieve this)

   Thanks
   PY.

   Try changing the second line to this:

   $childcats = get_categories('orderby=order&child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');

   As far as I can tell that will get it ordering correctly.
