Today I added a new plugin in my roster: AStickyPostOrdER.

AStickyPostOrdER, a plugin created by AndreSC, is a powerful addon to WordPress to touch it’s categories handling without messing up with the code.

Still in developement, the plugin augures well, thanks also to the interactivity of it’s developer that helped me to help him to resolve a problem in less than 24 hours.

As he asked, I’m writing that post to help people to see an example of the use of his plugin in a huge website like this with a lot of categories and sub-categories and a complex structure.

Actually, AStickyPostOrdER is helping me in the Music section…
But let’s start from the beginning:

• my target was to keep the musical group always the first of it’s category, and to put the posts after it
• after some googling I installed AStickyPostOrdER, easily like every other WordPress plugin
• After that, I went on the easy-interface that AndreSC did, giving a “1″ to the weight of the Pink Floyd post
• Now the Pink Floyd post is the first of it’s category, even if the published songs of the category are newer than it
• that works, of course, without messing up with any row of code and without making the Pink Floyd post the first of it’s mothers categories, the blog category, the I like category, and the Music category.

What else to say…?

Thank you AndreSC !
