 * I am using the ‘Blue and Grey’ theme and would like to know if there is a way
   to customise the order of categories, or do they just show up in the order that
   you add them. Also, is there a way to custom select which categories appear on
   the home page, I will have hundreds of sub-categories and would only like the
   main ones to appear on the homepage, not every single one. Any help would be 
   much appreciated!

   may do what you want.
