   Hey. For my category widget, I don't want it to be in alphabetical order. How do I sort it so that it shows "Spotlights, Notlights, and Other"?
   Thanks,
   ~Alisha

   The blog I need help with is itsalisha.wordpress.com.

   Use
   1. Spotlights
   2. Notights

   Adding numbers would sort the category as per your choice.

   thank you for answering this.

   So you can sort them either alphabetically or you can assign numbers to them. But is there any other way?

   Specifically, what did you have in mind?

   You can develop a hierarchical structure if you wish by creating sub-categories.

   well, I just wanted to know if you can arrange your categories in the category widget a certain way without having to put numbers in front of them...

   For categories the options are:
   alphabetical sort (default);
   numerical sort;
   hierarchical sort.
