[wp-hackers] Ordering categories in permalinks

[Otto]

No. WordPress doesn't actually *use* the category in the permalink to
retrieve posts, so you'd just need to modify the output of the
get_permalink function. You could do this using the post_link filter,
but you'd have to copy all the functionality of the get_permalink
function to do it.
