Full Version: Custom Category Order
Movable Type Community Forum > Using Movable Type > Categories and Entry Tags

My navigation links mirror my categories and sub-categories. Is there a way to change the order in which categories are displayed?

I'm currently using the <MTTopLevelCategories> tag to dump all of the main categories. But, it appears that the only sorting option is alphabetical.

An ideal setup would be a custom field attached to each category and then sort by that field when listing the categories in the template. But, I don't see a way to add custom fields to categories or to sort by custom fields.

Has anyone setup navigation based on categories and figured out a clever way to control the order?

Or do I need to rename the categories "1 Foo", "2 Bar" and use PHP to remove the numbers?

Appreciate any ideas.

(Never needed it myself, so no promises.)
