 * well i guess to be more specific, I’m altering the category archive page template…
   and I don’t want them displaying by date, because the date has no role in the
   content of my website and it’s not displayed… so the category archive template
   needs to display these by title rather than by date.
 * The a-z index plugin doesnt do that nor do the other two articles… and this needs
   to be the default category archive template, as there are literally 100 categories
   this will need to work on, so it’s not practical to make a category template 
   for each of these.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Ive got this semi manage now, using the Post Sorting Options plugin… but if i
   could set this to do by title in the category archive template, that’d help.

 * I indeed misunderstood. You’ll need to have a look at the `orderby` argument 
   of your archives.php. I’m not much of a coder myself, but I guess what you want
   shouldn’t be too hard. By default WP and also the archives are ordered chronologically
   as you noticed. Look around a bit in the “Codex” for inspiration. This perhaps?:

 * > title in the category archive template
 * you really have to clarify what you mean by that – sorting by title in what way?
   i thought Gangleri’s recommendation was also what you wanted.
    There’s another
   one, good up to 2.7, haven’t tested in 2.8.3 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-magic/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-magic/)
