I am trying to figure out how to control the display of catagories on the store home page. I have 9 catagories, and it appears they are displayed in the order entered. I want to add one in between the 3rd and 4th catagory, but when you add it it simply goes to the bottom of the list. Same thing applies to products. Is there a way to edit this so I can chaange the diplay order?

The data you are looking for are held in category.csv and product.csv in data/ tables
If you're changing these directly on your website through the program Admin area, use an FTP program to copy them to your computer and make a backup!
Then open them with a program like Excel and you'll see all the fields and you can change their order as you wish, then upload them back to your store.
Note that if you want to change your store to run in MySQL (which is faster and more reliable) when you run Admin/ Database Utilities/ Manage Table Data Sources it will by default sort any files converted into ascending order based on the first column.
For how to change the column under which they are ordered see
For more advanced ways of doing this, there are various Modules available from the CCP Third Party suppliers details which you can find in the Extensions and Modules thread.
