 * I know there are many threads about the subject and yet I have the feeling that
   my problem is different. Here’s what happened.
 * I had the brilliant idea to add one category of a WP installation to another.
   I made a feed of that category, saved it and imported it in the other installation.
   The categories are tags are messed up, but far worse is that all posts are suddenly
   in reversed chronological order _both in the WP admin and on the site_. Thinking
   back, when I was trying things out in the test, the same happened, but obviously
   I didn’t pay enough attention.
 * It’s save to say that this isn’t an old WP or old MYsql issue, but something 
   that goes wrong with importing. All good and well of course, shit happens, but
   after having been messing around for a few hours, my only option remains dropping
   WP, installing it new and importing the export that I made.
 * Of course I can only do that only when I’m back at home, so if somebody has a
   better option……….

 * Holy schmoley! I thought I tried everything and eventually decided to delete 
   WP (did’t help) and even the posts table. After putting everything back things
   were back in order and when I started to reactivate plugins, the problem was 
   back. It was the “[Advanced Category Excluder](http://advanced-category-excluder.dev.rain.hu/)”
   plugin. Argh, I should have begun with the obvious. This plugin was the last 
   that I did before I started importing from the feed, etc. (part of the same project)………………
   
   Stupid me.
 * (Strange though that on another install, the plugin causes no problems.)
