Hi,

Where did you want to change this - in the left column, when you click 'categories', another place ?

Yes, I'd like to have this functionality. To be able to set a sequence number when I create a category so that they appear in the sequence I want rather than alphabetically.

Hi, its possible to change the sorting order by going to "ViewCategoryAdvancedPanel.php" (in the panels folder of your chosen template) and then to line 226 which should be like: $query = sprintf("select * from %scategories where ParentID='%d' order by Name asc", $GLOBALS["AL_CFG"]["tablePrefix"], $GLOBALS["CategoryId"]);
"order by Name" controls the order. the "asc" afterwards means sort ascending. you can change this to "desc". You can also replace "Name" with "CategoryID" to sort by the Id's. E.g.:$query = sprintf("select * from %scategories where ParentID='%d' order by CategoryID asc", $GLOBALS["AL_CFG"]["tablePrefix"], $GLOBALS["CategoryId"]);

Unfortunately you can not specifically select the order they are displayed in.
