 If you specify the order parameter (ASC or DESC) for wp_tag_cloud, you get
 the opposite ordering you asked for.

 On line 654 of category-template.php, there's some code that looks like
 this:

         if ( 'DESC' == $order )
                 $tags = array_reverse( $tags, true );

 But up at line 560, the query that gets the tags always uses DESC. So
 reversing it gets an ascending order. Line 654 should be changed to "if (
 'ASC' == $order )". Beyond that, having ASC as a default for ordering
 something on frequency is kind of odd, don't you think?
