Sort order for subcategories was created by Lisa Clarke
Hello.
I am working on a category template that was written by someone else originally. They have a mechanism in place to display the category's subcategories on this page. This is what I want, however, I need to organize the subcategories differently. They appear to be sorted by ID, but I don't see any place that I can change this behavior in the admin.
I'm comfortable changing the template PHP, if that is what is required. The subcategory list is currently being generated by a foreach loop.
Ideally, I'd like it to observe the "order" method of sorting.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've come across plenty of google search results for how to sort the items within a subcategory, but I already know how to do that. It's the subcategories themselves that need to be re-arranged.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Actually in the category's settings you need to find the "Sub-category blocks ordering" setting.

I must have looked in that spot a dozen times, and yet somehow my eyes passed right over it.
THANK YOU.

You must have been looking for a <select> element.
We might need to change it then.
