To display categories, it has wp_list_categories function, where You can order the categories by ID, name, slug, count or term_group. I want the categories ordered by most recently updated. Most recently updated I mean, category that has the latest post will display first in the list.
PHP
<?php $cat_array = array(); $args=array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 20, 'caller_get_posts'=> 1 ); $my_query = null; $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $cat_args=array('orderby' => 'none'); $cats = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , 'category', $cat_args); foreach($cats as $cat) { $cat_array[$cat->term_id] = $cat->term_id; } endwhile; } if ($cat_array) { foreach($cat_array as $cat) { $category = get_term_by('ID',$cat, 'category'); echo '<a href="' . esc_attr(get_term_link($category, 'category')) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a>'.'<br />'; } } wp_reset_query(); ?>
