OK sorry I figured it out there’s a plugin that adds the ability for the user to organize categories and seems to work well. Thanks for the foreach tip!

Ok, I think I’ve figured out a way to use that on my site:

$args = array(
	'orderby' => 'name',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'exclude'  => '3');

	$categories = get_categories($args);
        //var_dump($categories)

	foreach ($categories as $cat) {
	echo "<h1 id=\"category-header\">" . $cat->name . "</h1>";
     query_posts('meta_key=Filename&orderby=meta_value&order=DESC&posts_per_page=-1&category_name='.$cat->name);
	get_template_part('content', 'home');
				}

But is there a way to choose the order that the categories sort by, preferably a user-defined order? I found a blog post on this:

But just wondering if there is a simple way not involving plugins & etc?
