Get Category By Id - Fix The Order

[shutlar]

Hello,I am new to here and apologise if this is posted in the wrong section, I would like to set the order that categories load within this script, basically i would like to load category ID 14 then 4 then 13.

 

I have pasted my code below, if anyone can assist I would greatly appreciate it as I am pretty useless with PHP modifications!

 

The output is a box within a wordpress site see attached image: http://ajswebsites.c...t.jpg ignore the bit at the bottom about the read morenot working that was something else that has been fixed!

 

Thanks in advance. Let me know how I buy whoever a beer

Please use code or php tags when posting code, Thats a nightmare to read - I can't even see where you declare your get_the_category_by_id() function

have_posts()): ?>

  have_posts() ) : $cat_query->the_post(); $count ++ ;?>
