 * Hi everyone,
 * I want to display my news except the news of the category 21. So i read in the
   codex that i’ve to do something like this:
 *  query_posts($query_string . “&cat=-21&order=ASC”);
 * It works for the category but the order doesn’t work. The request bug only if
   I exclude a category. If i Do :
 *  query_posts($query_string . “&cat=21&order=ASC”);
 * the order works.
 * Someone have an explication or a solution?
 * thanks a lot.

 * Hi, I have the same problem.
 * Did anyone come up with a solution for this? I know that the problem is by excluding
   the category with the “-” signal.
