Get categories in the same order as in the menu

Question

I am stuck in a fairly simple problem (think). I am trying to get categories in my template in the same way as they are ordered in my main menu.

For information, I use WP 3.0.4, the French version.

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

This is not an orthodox method, but we do not have a field for sorting categories, so ...

If you do not use the Category Description field , you can use this field as a sort field. For instance, by introducing one char from A to Z in admin, and use get_categories () or wp_list_categories () with option 'orderby' => 'description', 'order' => 'ASC'/'DESC'.
