assign position to categories - no alpha sort

Post by msp_erv »

hi...

goal is to be able to control postiion of categories in menu - no alpah sort but maybe we can assign some numerical value to each category for sorting or some other way to sort?

i have primary importance categories related to what we do, then sub categories that relate to how we do what we do - i would even like to put a space between them or a nav title bar...

thoughts?

From "Configure Plugins", select the sidebar plugin "categories". There you can choose your sort order by Category name, description, id, or none. you can then choose to sort in ascending order, or descending order.

You can get very granular control over the presentation of this plugin if you enable smarty templating as the plugin explains.

To simply increase the spacing, you can just use css. If you can provide a better explanation of what you are looking for (perhaps a mock-up?), I might be able to suggest an approach.
