 * Hi stefanocps, I tested the ordering category option in my plugin and it worked
   for me! How did you change the id order? In your web page, I see the categories:
   News, Spettacoli, Media and Metis’Book. What are the id for these categories?
   Did you try to order the categories by name?
 * Also, Custom option is only enabled when there are categories entered in the 
   include category textbox. If you entered categories that doesn’t exist, you won’t
   see anything in the output plugin.
