thanks nullig -- will give this one a try and hope it does the trick!

still no luck. sigh. although the categories are displaying correctly, they appear below their respective news items which are now showing up in an order which makes no sense: http://www.grumpyfrombirth.com/cmsmades ... ?page=news

i really didn't think this was going to be so difficult as would assume many other people use the news module to organise their articles into yearly categories?

i really need to get this sorted please as it's a charity website and currently the news index makes no sense.

aura.

*bump* -- can no one help at all? i can't possibly be the first person to want to display categories in a different order than the one in which they were created? please

UPDATE: seeing as there didn't seem to be a solution to this i've decided to drop the category view and simply list the articles on the news overview page. it's a compromise but couldn't think of anything else. thanks to those who tried to help. much appreciated.

Hello all,

I was just browsing for a solution to this problem and i came across this post. Aura had the same problem I'm now having. Was a solution ever found or is it built into the newer versions of the news module? I simply can't find anything regarding this.

I would have thought there should be a way to change the news categories order. Seems like a basic thing that there *should* be? Anyhow, would love to open this up again if there have been any further developments....!
