Title: How do I get the Categories to Change Order?
Post by simcoe on 01/27/07 at 17:36:51

Here is another How Do I?

I want to have the categories in a particular order.
It will be an art auction site and I want Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture, Prints, Other

It seems to alpha-sort them.

I tried to trick the sys with letters or numbers in front of the categories and that doesn't work.

You can use numbers ...

Code:

%category = (
130 => ['Audio & Video', 'Audio & Video', ],
110 => ['Computer', 'Computer', ],
120 => ['Electronics', 'Elektronik', ],
100 => ['Other Junk', 'Sonstiges', ],
);

and the sorted result will be:

Other Junk
Computer
Electronics
Audio & Video

What If 30 categories?

Thanks

101 => ['Computer', 'Computer', ],
102 => ['Electronics', 'Elektronik', ],
103 => ['Other Junk', 'Sonstiges', ],
);

and so on ...
