Hi Pascal – I need to do the same for LINKS as apposed to Categories – any idea how this can be done? Be default links are displayed alphabetically by Thesis, ignoring any plugins I have tried which apparently “reorder” the links
Many thanks!
hey man – what if I’m using links instead of entries – my navigation menu is to a bunch of external pages. I can’t find any way to re-order those links. The plugin “my links order” doesn’t work. Do you know how to do this? Thanks!
That plugin works in thesis. It might be some other problem..
Reordering links can be done via hacking thesis core files. But it is not good idea to do. Because when you upgrade next time, your navigation may get messed.
Hey Pascal thanks – the plugin definitely works for links in the side bar, but if you use a category in the nav bar on top, then the ordering fails. Have you seen it work in the nav bar?
have you used this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/
Thanks dude, this was REALLY bothering me on the site I am building as the category oder was making my nav bar go to three lines! This plugin did the trick! Glad I found you. Just fanned you on FB.

hai lisa,
Thanks.. you can make use of our youtube channel for mor customization tutorials..
Pascal, great tutorial … I do wish that Thesis would be able do do the ordering on its own, between pages, categories and links (feature request for @pearsonified) …
Additionally, i just discovered your blog (searching for “thesis reorder navigation links” on google) you have some great content, I especially like your blogging lab, I am fairly new at blogging (but I am a long time web/app developer), I am very interested in hearing your opinions, both successes and failures, on running a successful blog.
Great Job!

Hi. great tutorial, thank you! Is it possible to list categories IN BETWEEN pages in the nav menu ? Eg page 1 | page 2 | cat 1 | page 3?
