[wp-hackers] ordering the cats in a particular order

[Alex Rayan]

Yes, I wrap it in a function. So far I used it directly in templates since
I needed certain functionality for sliders, tabs, etc. displaying
categories in particular order on specific pages, but you could call the
function on the hook you need.

I did a bit of Googling on the category hooks and, perhaps, this page could
be helpful:

Regards,
Alex
