Re: Category select fields sort order In reply to
Another problem with select fields:

when I set db_gen_category_list to "No" in the Build options, I get an 500 error when adding a link (using add.cgi as user, not from the admin). Setting this option to "Yes" avoids the error.

Now, what has this to do with the sort order?
The point is that at least I don't want my users to see a category select field when it is sorted in no obvious order. At the moment it looks like that:
...
Länder/Europa/Deutschland
Entertainment
Länder/Europa/Italien
Länder/Europa/Deutschland/Institutionen
Museen & Ausstellungen
Länder/Europa/Deutschland/Regionen
...

Before Links SQL 2.0.2 it was ordered like this:
...
Entertainment
Museen & Ausstellungen
Länder/Europa/Deutschland
Länder/Europa/Deutschland/Institutionen
Länder/Europa/Deutschland/Regionen
Länder/Europa/Italien
...

which was quite perfect.

So for now my situation is that I can either present a totally cluttered category dropdown to users (and admins) or get 500-errors when a user wants to add a resource - that's not what I'd call a comfortable situation.
