This is much simpler. * Changed the category order data structure so that it is a simple 2-dimensional array instead of a recursive tree. * Fixed a bug for installations where "cat" appear in the URL instead of "category" * Separated the management page from the category ordering page * Moved everything into a directory 10 November 2005 Version: 1.6 Modified by: David Coppit * Changed the management functionality to a more intuitive one that doesn't require the user to use a special textual specification language for the ordering. * Changed the sorting algorithm to automatically append new categories to the end of the top level. * Added the "include post count in link" functionality to the management page * The output now uses the same format as the input.

    5 May 2005 Version: 1.5 Modified by: Thaddeus Buzolich - http://www.buzolich.com/techtips/category-order/ * Wrapped the perisort.php functionality with a plugin interface in the Manage Menu, and changed name to categoryOrder.php * Spaces are allowed between category slugs * Preview of category order * Added BREAK option, to allow for space between list sections * First rewrite of readme.txt to reflect new plugin options 16 March 2005 * Fixed bug related to $the_list initially having a hierarchy. * Fixed problems with permalinks not being set up for 'pretty' pathnames. Non-prettified permalinks will need to use "cat=[category number]" instead of the slugs. 11 March 2005 * Pulled all notes into separate .readme.txt. * Cleaned up non-list (
    method) display. 10 March 2005: * In the spirit of Feature Creep, have added a method for ensuring that the post count is included in the link. Useful if one wishes to tart up the fore and background display of the link as a whole, and find the post count's continued plainess to be a visual irritant. To enable: change the value of $fulllink from FALSE to TRUE. 7 March 2005: * Recoded search & match to use category slugs rather than category names, as better chance of matching the right items, plus better compatibility with extended characters. * Added a checkpoint ($perichildflag) to ensure that empty categories set between two CHILD keywords (...CHILD,an-empty-category,CHILD...) do not trigger extra "
    • " sets. 22 February 2005: * Fixed element placement so as to create valid XHTML. 20 February 2005: * Added ability to display hierarchical lists using keywords CHILD, TOP and BACKUP. Note that using these keywords will not create hierarchical lists if the original setting is to use
    . * Refined cat name matching so that, for instance, a "late breaking news" category would not be mistaken for one named "news". * Added detailed usage guidelines and notes/caveats. 18 February 2005: * first beta
