Sorting Link Categories Manually

Try using get_links, set the orderby to “notes” and then in the link manager add a note to each link that consists of the order you want it to show up. I.E. If you have Link_ABC, Link_DEF & Link_GHI that you want to display in this order:
Link_DEF
Link_ABC
Link_GHI

Add a note to Link_DEF of “1”
Add a note to Link_ABC of “2”
Add a note to Link_GHI of “3”

I believe this applies to links listed under a specific category. However, I would like to be able to position each link category
manually and I don’t see a Notes field when editing these.

Thanks to the both of you!!

Manzabar: Thanks for the tip on using notes to sort links! =)

@sf49er: In that case, you can either use Podz suggestion or you can do what I did for my Portal page. Each section of links down the main part of the page are being pulled via get_linksbyname with the category set for that section. I.E. The “Tech News” section is built from all the links that I entered in a category called “Tech News” and I’ve set the tag up like this:
<?php get_linksbyname("Tech News", "<li>", "</li>", "", show_images, "name", false, false, -1, show_updated); ?>

The next section of links is pulled using the same settings except category is set to “Blogs”.

@btvillarin: No problem, though I probably should mention I’ve not tried the technique out; I just noticed the options while looking at the Codex.

In that case, for the record, that method does work. ??
