    i’m using this code to list all categories on my menu:

    <?php
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
						$categories=get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li><a href="'. get_bloginfo('url').'#' . $category->category_nicename . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </li> ';}
?>

    how to add class when i’m on the single page of the current category?

    <?php if( is_single() ) $post_cats = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
						$categories=get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li'.((is_single() && in_array( $category->term_id, $post_cats) )?' class="current-cat"':'').'><a href="'. get_bloginfo('url').'#' . $category->category_nicename . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </li> ';}
?>

    that puts a css class of .current-cat on the li element.
