 * Hi Urkekg,
 * do you have an idea about how can posts be sorted within categories, other than
   a default order?
    For my client it has a particular importance, to be able to
   sort posts in an order that can be modified easily. There are several plugins
   that can modify posts order for example both in backend and frontend, but not
   in an sitemap-like rendering like your posts-in-cat… (which is good enough for
   this purpose…)
 * Thanks in advance, if you have and share idea…

 * Hi brian74,
 * You can achieve that by modifying file `wp-postspercat.php` following this steps:
    - on line 184 change `"date"` with one of parameters explained [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Parameters)
    - on line 188 change value for `orderby=date` to `orderby=WHATAVER_YOU_WISH`
      also with parameter from WP codex page linked above
 * Or you can try with development version which you can download [here](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/posts-per-cat.zip)(
   future 1.3.0)
 * Cheers,
    Aleksandar U
