eva2000,

i think there is another way of doing what you want. How about only having 1 index file, indexcustom.php but call it index.php. Those categories that you want hidden in the normal index.php just don't include in the

} else {
$catname="";
$yourcat="1_2_3_4";
}
} else {
$catname="";
$yourcat="1_2_3_4";

bit and then they won't show up. You can still set their order normall then.

See what i mean?
