cat_ID order problem

    Hi,

    I have a problem with my cat IDs….

    I want to know if there is a possible reason why one category is showing before one and on the other post the order changes.

    Here an example. In my foreach I get this for the first post

    echo $current->cat_ID . ' ';
10 17

    and in my other post I get this

    echo $current->cat_ID . ' ';
18 16 10

    If you check the first post get 10 then 17 but on the other, I get 18 16 then 10.

    How is that possible?

    EDIT #1 : Can I change the date of creation on the category?

    To answer your edit, not that I know of.

    If the order of your categories is important, could you run them through a query? I’d think you’d be able to order them however you wanted to then….

    Actually, I have this code.

    I will explain my problem a bit more.. I have a page single where we see normals articles.

    I want to show a special link if the post is in category 10.

    But when I make my detection it only get the last catID. This is why I need to change the order.

    <?php 

if (have_posts()) : the_post(); 

	$category = get_the_category();
	$agenda = false;
	$selected_category = 0;
	foreach($category as $current)
	{
		$myCat = $current->cat_ID;

		// Do not care
		if($myCat == 12) { $agenda = true; }
		elseif($myCat != 9)
		{
			$selected_category = $myCat ;
		}
		// End of Do not care		

		echo $current->cat_ID . ' ';
	}

endif;
?>

    not tested, but something like this might do the trick…..

    $ten_cat= new WP_Query();
$ten_cat->query('cat=10');
if($ten_cat->have_posts()):$ten_cat->the_post();
  //doWhatYouDo
else
  //whatever

    I mean, if the goal is to post something when the category is 10, that’s probably the way I would do it. But perhaps I don’t understand the question and/or this won’t work
