    help question Categories with ezpages links & TOC Add On Question

    Aloha!

    Working on Newest Zen Cart.... First Timers etc...

    So far so good! I added the Add On:

    "Categories with ezpages links & TOC
    Author: Steve

    This mod will enable you to display links to your ezpages in the categories sidebox. This mod will replace your existing modules/sideboxes/categories.php, and templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php files. The original files will be renamed with .old

    All runs well, but since i am not a PHP crack... more a Pixelartist HTML/CSS all no big I am willing to learn... is fun so far...

    WHAT I LIKE TO DO:
    is to have the EZ Page Links before the Product Links...
    >>LINK>>here you can check out the shop I working on<<LINK<<


    So I looked in the two files but there is no easy "I copy this part above the other... " Maybe some very nice PHPer can help me to find this part that defines what comes first.....

    So here the code of
    A: Categories.php followed by B: tpl_categories.php
    A:
