[wp-testers] get_category Ordering Weirdness?

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

Looking at the function, it looks like hierarchical=true is the 
default, which is probably screwing up the order. Try adding 
hierarchical=0 to the arg list and see if that helps.

If I choose to order by ID or by name, ascending or descending, the results are different in each case, which suggests that the function must at least be *trying* to order the list.  However, the list never comes out right.
