    I'd like to change the order of the categories in the right column. http://obsessionfitness.com/

    I've tried the plugin "My Category Order" but it didn't work.

    I'd like the brands - Bowflex, Horizon etc. to appear under the Exercise Equipment Category.

    Thanks.

    Make them child categories to the Exercise Equipment category.

    Thanks. I tried that but it didn't work. They were still listed at the bottom and not indented. I simply added -- to the beginning of each category name so they now look indented but still list at the bottom. http://obsessionfitness.com

    I am not sure why they are listing at the bottom because I would have thought the order would be alphabetical.

    But anyway, if you want the child (sub) cats indented, you need to look in your style sheet. That is usually where you find the way it looks on the page.

    Alternatively, if you don't want to change your style sheet, make a child category for each name under the parent category of exercise equipment and still use the (-) like you did. This way, it will be indented and it will show under the correct category.

    BTW - nice design and site

    I did create the brand categories as child under the Exercise Equipment category but it didn't work. Could this just be an odd feature of my particular theme? Thanks.

    Probably need to edit how your categories are shown in your sidebar. Make sure you are using the latest wp_list_categories(); function. More info on it Here.
