List Categories by Custom Menu Order WordPress

Spencer answers:

By default, wp_list_cateogories() only accepts <em>id</em>, <em>name</em>, <em>slug</em>, <em>count</em>, or <em>term_group</em> as valid <em>orderby</em> parameters.

See: [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Parameters"]]wp_list_cateogries() parameters[[/LINK]]

<em>wp_list_categories()</em> is not linked to custom navigation menu's in any way. Your best bet would be adding another navigation menu output in place of the standard category list. See: [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu"]]wp_nav_menu()[[/LINK]].

Hi Pattrick,

You want to order it by hierarchy on categories/term?
<?php if ( $activate = get_option('newstheme_activate') ) { ?>

<?php if ( get_option( newstheme_menucat ) == "Hide") { ?>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;"></div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="menubar"><!-- BEGIN MAIN NAV -->

<ul id="nav">

<li <?php if(is_home()) {echo 'class="current_page_item"';}?>></li>

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=term_group&depth=1&title_li='); ?>

</ul>



Or you want to change it to use wp menu management under appearance?
Place this on your functions.php

if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menu' ) ) {
register_nav_menu( 'pattricik_main_menu', 'main menu' );
}

and use this for front end
<?php if ( $activate = get_option('newstheme_activate') ) { ?>

<?php if ( get_option( newstheme_menucat ) == "Hide") { ?>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;"></div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="menubar"><!-- BEGIN MAIN NAV -->

<ul id="nav">

<li <?php if(is_home()) {echo 'class="current_page_item"';}?>></li>
<?php
$pattrick_args = array(
'theme_location' => 'pattrick_main_menu',
'container' => false,
'menu_class' => 'menu',
'depth' => 0
);

wp_nav_menu($pattrick_args);
?>

</ul>


You can change the argument $pattrick_args passing to the function like you want.
Please refer to [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu"]]this page[[/LINK]] for full list of the options..
