I would really like to sort the Saved Links by category name. Is there a way to do this?

It uses the personal link list order. There's no way to order one of them differently from the other.

Where do I choose the order of the personal link list?

It seems I can sort the Saved Links list by other fields, like catid:
<IF {SWITCH_SORTLINKS} and {CATLINKSHERE}>
<div class="sort">
<form action="savedtopics.php">
<input type="hidden" name="todo" value="orderlinks">
<input type="hidden" name="catid" value="{CATID}">
Sort links by
<select name="orderlinks">
<option value="id">newest</option>
<option value="lastedit">last edited</option>
<option value="title">title</option>
<IF {SWITCH_RATINGS}>
<option value="rating">rating</option>
<option value="votes">votes</option>
</IF>
<IF {SWITCH_HITS}>
<option value="hits">hits out</option>
<option value="hitsin">hits in</option>
</IF>
</select>
in
<select name="ascdesc">
<option value="asc">ascending</option>
<option value="desc">decending</option>
</select>
order, and show
<select name="perpage">
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="35">35</option>
<option value="45">45</option>
</select>
per page.
<input type="submit" value="Sort" class="button">
</form>
</div>
</IF>

Why not catname?

Settings -> General (with a little bug in that the links list has to be activated for it to show, will fix that)... but now that you mention it's the category name, that won't help.

Why not catname?

catname isn't a links field. You can sort by catid, since that is a field, but catname is impossible when you're dealing with links rather than categories.

Adding it as a links field would create headaches as far as keeping it up to date and I haven't much reason to.
