Might want to look at some of the orderby settings available with the template tag, wp_list_bookmarks().
Somewhere in your theme, or possibly in a sidebar widget, or whatever, you’re hopefully making a call to wp_list_bookmarks to show the blogroll items. You need to find out where that is and then edit it to include an “orderby” parameter. Then you can tell it to order by one of several things.
See here:

Try this plugin… it worked well for me. 🙂

Okay. Thank you for the tips. I put the plugin in, and it shows up and everything, but doesn’t seem to be working. When I change the code, to what they say to change it to, the sidebar disappears with an error message.
Also, I found the wp_list_bookmarks tag but I’m not quite sure what to do with it with the ‘orderby’ tag if I were to go that direction.
I’ll have my husband look at it and see if it makes more sense to him.
Thanks,

Once you put the files in the right folders, go to your admin page. Under the plugins tab you should see a line that is called My Link Order. At the end of the row, there is a link that says activate. Click that.
Next, go to the Presentations tab and click on Widgets. Drag the My Link Order box under your sidebar and delete out the one that says Links.
Then go to Blogroll, add your links, and they should come up in the order that you put them in.
Hope this helps.
Okay. Thanks. I see where to do that. My next question is this:
In every theme I test I go to the widgets area and only see “default sidebar.” I see how to add all the individual things, but if I want to go back to that default once I’ve saved it to see what it looks like, how do I do that?
Also, adding the widget here — does this just change it for only the current theme, or does it change it globally for every theme I currently have at my disposal?
Thanks,
Caat
EDIT: Oh! Never mind! Got it! Thank you! 🙂
