The sort order is random because it was the original intent of the plugin to serve up a random subset of links from a blogroll, but I have been considering adding sort order to a future release.
Trying to sort my blogroll list. The dropdown menu allows sorting by Link ID and Rating (among others) but I don’t see any way to assign a Link ID or to rate the links in my list. What am I missing?

This is GREAT!…However, I would still like to have my links listed under their appropriate category. Could you make this happen?
Thanks!
@donwpeterson, the ratings can be set in your blogroll.
@arudd: I was thinking about adding something like that in…
Hello,
This is a great plugin. Any chance that you will create a dynamic link loader instead of having to refresh it?
Cheers!
Great plugin, but I agree with arudd that it would be nice to be able to sort the links by category. I suppose one quick solution would be to have multiple widgets, each giving links from a single category, just like you can have multiple text widgets. Any way to enable that?
Hah! I just realized you can do it directly in your theme, because wp_list_bookmarks() allows you to order randomly and limit the number of links shown. So…
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('categorize=1&title_before=<h3>&title_after=</h3>&orderby=rand&limit=4'); ?>
Of course, a plugin would be nicer. 🙂
Actually, I’m having a problem with the randomizer listing links twice… Is this because some links are in two categories, or just a result of the randomization?
Thanks! Other than that I’m loving this plugin. 🙂
