[wp-hackers] Ordering categories in permalinks

[William Davis]

That will only half work, I think. WordPress will redirect you to what  
it defines as the correct url. So you can link someone to http://new.bangordailynews.com/2010/10/25/business/lepages-cleared-in-florida-tax-case/ 
  (even if it isn't in the business category, which is nice), but it  
will redirect you to http://new.bangordailynews.com/2010/10/25/politics/lepages-cleared-in-florida-tax-case/ 
.
