 Hello WP Hackers!

 Sorry for this off-topic question but I'm sure it is the most right place
 to ask it.

 So I'm programmatically switching theme with switch_theme(), then wanting
 to add/sort widgets in the newly registered sidebar, but before this I
 want WP to process orphaned widgets and put them in the sidebar of the new
 theme. Is there any way to do it programmatically - some function to call
 after switch_theme()? Thanks!
