Hi, I’m struggling with sorting out the order as well. My purpose is to put a list of the categories/subcategories that a post belongs to within the post so that it’s completely evident what subject matter the post touches on.

For me it returns all subcategories first, then all parents, instead of parent/sub, parent/sub as one would expect, and as the_category tag does. I can’t use the_category tag because I need a clean list without links and such.

I asked someone for help but their code is wrong- it returns the same parent/cat all the time. But I don’t know enough about PHP to fix it.

Here it is, just in case you do 🙂

‘
function ordered_cats() {

foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat)
{

$parents_1 = get_category_parents($cat);

$parents = substr($parents_1, 0, -1);

$string = $parents.”, “.$parents;
// don’t have a clue what this is doing, doesn’t make any // sense to me at all. It should pull the elements from the // array and sort them into a string by parent/cat? weird
}

echo $string;
‘

Sorry I couldn’t help more!
