My Link Order allows you to set the order in which links and link categories will appear in the sidebar.

== Description ==

[My Link Order](http://geekyweekly.com/mylinkorder) allows you to set the order in which links and link categories will appear in the sidebar. Uses a drag 
and drop interface for ordering. Adds a widget with additional options for easy installation on widgetized themes.

= Big Update! =

My Link Order has been out since WP 1.5 or 2.0 (2006) and it's been a struggle to keep it working smoothly. The taxonomy.php hack was hideous and a filter finally got added that let me avoid this. No more visiting the My Link Order page after every single Wordpress update!

As of version 2.8.6 of the plugin I'm breaking backwards compatibility to add new features like a multiple widget instances. Keep using version [2.8.4](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/my-link-order.2.8.4.zip) if you are not on WP 2.8 yet.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate plugin
2. Go to "My Link Order" under the Links menu and specify your desired order for your link categories and the links in each category
3. If you are using widgets then replace the standard "Links" widget with the "My Link Order" widget. That's it.
4. If you aren't using widgets, modify the sidebar template to use the correct filter (additional parameter seperated by ampersands):
	`wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why isn't the order changing on my site? =

The change isn't automatic. You need to modify your theme or widgets.
