   I need to be able to display multiple child categories with links in post meta, like the following, setting the order in which it's displayed by the parent category.

   Color: Red
   Shape: Circle
   etc.

   The following code pulls the info I want, yet returns the content in alpha order by child rather than parent.

   <span class="cat-links">
   	<?php
   	foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
   	if (cat_is_ancestor_of(3, $childcat)) {
   	echo 'Color: '. '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
    echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';
   	}
   	if (cat_is_ancestor_of(10, $childcat)) {
   	echo 'Shape: '. '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
    echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';
   	}
   	}
   	?>
   </span>
   <?php endif; // End if categories ?>

   One post ends "Color: blue | Shape: circle" and another ends "Shape: circle | Color: red." Each post needs the category meta displayed in a consistent order according to parent.

   Any ideas?
