 * My website is [http://www.kicksndaisies.com/](http://www.kicksndaisies.com/) 
   and i was wondering how to switch the placement of the titles in the “category”
   section. Currently, they are in order according by “name” ( i think this is the
   coding i found in sidebar.php):
    <?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&orderby=
   name’); ?>
 * The only thin i want is to have “music” category listed as the first category
   and i cannot figure a way of doing that.

 * Review the orderby parameter in [wp_list_categories](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_categories).
   They are the only coded options available with this template tag. Unless you 
   want to construct your own category listing function with [get_categories](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories),
   your only other options are to install a category ordering plugin or construct
   a [custom menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_SubPanel).
