 * Hi, I’m trying to change the order of my categories in the Taxonomy Picker and
   haven’t been able to find a solution. I have tried using “My Category Order” 
   and “Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order” but they don’t work (although I
   was sure it worked before I put in any posts, weird).
 * Anyway, I’m not a programmer so I would be pretty wary of messing with the WP
   files. Does anyone know of a solution? Even if I could change the order from 
   descending instead of ascending would work?
 * Thanks
    graham.

 * Hi Graham
 * I don’t answer support queries here – please take any follow up at [http://www.squidoo.com/taxonomy-picker-wordpress-plugin](http://www.squidoo.com/taxonomy-picker-wordpress-plugin)
   as per the advice in the plugin.
 * You don’t say whether you are using basic or beta/premium (turned on via the 
   admin option in Silverghyll -> Taxonomy Picker -> “Use beta/premium widget (see
   notes)in your dashboard)”. But in this case it doesn’t matter.
 * At present there is no way through the front end of changing the order of categories.
   It can be done with custom taxonomies but not categories. The problem is that
   categories a very complex in the plugin because of the option to include or exclude
   a list of categories. I think the code might be able to handle it. I will take
   a look but it won’t be until the end of next week / next weekend because I have
   other commitments until then. Sorry.

 * PS Any change I make will be to the beta/premium version only since it is an 
   enhancement

 * Hi Kate, thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I have it set to beta/premium. Even
   setting category order by slug, like the tags would be great.
 * Great plugin by the way.
 * Thanks
    Graham.
