Sorting Link Categories

Hi Folks,

Please be patient with a newbie. If this has been asked before, just point me in the right direction, but my searches have not found the right answer.

I want to have a categorized list of links on the right hand sidebar. So far, so good, WordPress does this very nicely. But, I can’t find anyway to actually get the categories ordered in the way that I want them. I suppose I could stick a number at the start of each name, but that wouldn’t be very elegant.

Getting the links ordered within the categories isn’t the problem I’m looking at.

Thanks
