OMG! Nice plugin, thanks!!!
Really good article. Good info for anyone who’s into design.
hmm… Nice post.
Nice plugin. Any idea how to get it to display the categories in the order you specify by using the My Categories Order plugin? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the great work.
You would have to adjust lines 200 to 204 of postbycategory.php to include orderby in the arguments array of the get_categories function (See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories).
Let me know if you have anymore questions or anything to contribute to the plugin. Thanks!
