Hi all,

I have looked through the forum on changing the sort order of the category listings on the homepage. They all seem to say that is uses $Links{'build_sort_order_category'} but changing that seems to have no effect on the order of the category listings on the homepage.

Can someone tell me how the categories actually get ordered. I looked in sub build_home_page in nph-build.cgi. No Order by in the Select statement.

I checked the site_html_print_cat in HTML_Templates and the only sorting function I can find there is foreach $cat (sort @names) - This sorts alphabetically using the Name field of the category.

In nph-build.cgi I tried adding to the select statement Order by Description - No luck
I removed the sort from (sort @names) That seemed to be a pretty random.

So I'm at loss. I don't want to do any special sorting, just sort by some given field in the Category database. Anybody have any ideas where to look?

Thanks.
