Hi Afwas,
A good day to you my friend. Your help has been nothing less than perfect.
Thank you for the info on that plugin. I installed it but I don't see anywhere that it presents itself for use. I am perusing the admin panel some more to find it.
Thanks a mil.

Probably you'll like to visit "Blog settings -> pick a blog -> widgets" but I'm only guessing. Heck even if it's not there you'll see some stuff that I *know* you'll wish you had your camera with you ;)
EdB,
lol.
I am still checking, still no go but I have my camera ready :-).
Thanks,

Hi TITSIN,
I made a little modified AM Bloglist plugin that allows you to sort the bloglist. Use it in stead of your existing AM Bloglist plugin. You can use it in the same place where now your Public Bloglist Widget is.
Hope you like it
**Discontinued**
There will be an announcement later today
Good luck
Second version through the same download link.
This version adds some protection against fawlty user input.
Afwas,
I'll trust you and install it :-), thank you. I did and I still am not seeing where it provides functionality.
Also, i'm seeing a new problem where when I create a post it's not showing up on the main page that aggregates all the blogs. So i'm trying to figure that out as well.
Hi TITSSN,
Try the plugin on the place where you now have the Public blog list widget. That will be the 'Page Top' container.
It gives an extra setting to modify the order of your bloglist:

Good luck
Afwas,
Still no go. I saw something that allowed me to set the sequence of the categories. I set them in the order I wanted and apply them and it still doesn't change.
Your thoughts.
The plugin is meant to be a replacement for the Public Bloglist widget.
You can experiment with this plgin in the sidebar or in one of both top bars.
It's alive in my blog: http://www.blog.hemminga.net/index.php?blog=8 Notice the order of the bloglist is different from any of the other blogs.
But as usual I did find a bug. It worked flawless with three blogs in the Public Blog List, but with more blogs the order seems to be somewhat random and most certainly not what i expected.
The widget is trained to NOT change the order of the bloglist if the number of the blogs you enter does not correspond with the numbers available. So if there are five blogs to be displayed in the list, enter five in the settings.
I will present an enhanced version when ready.
Good luck
Hi TITSSN,
I struggled long and hard with the algorithm only to find out that the most obvious did the trick.
Never mind that.
Later today I will announce a brand new plugin/widget that arranges the Public Blog list any way you want.
Done.

Is this still the best thing to reorder blogs? I'd hate to add more confusion to the issue by attempting to download/install/use an outdated widget. :)
Hi TITSSN,
You can try the AM Bloglist Widget that is available through http://b2evo.astonishme.co.uk/control-your-bloglist
Good luck
