My theme currently uses add_menu_page() in order to display the theme options sections on the left hand admin menu.

I'm using code below to spit out custom post types along with its categories, so Category 1 ---post 1 ---post 2 Category 2 ---post 1 ---post 2 ---post 3 etc. That works well for me, however I would like to be able to sort my categories by count so orderby=count so catgories with larger amount of post will go to the top... | You have <code> orderby=count </code> , which should be correct , but you also have <code> order=asc </code> . <code> order=ASC </code> means "smallest to largest", at least with numbers.

I am having some issues with a couple of plugins which use jQuery/JS i.e. cookie control and a picasa photo gallery.
