Add prev/next buttons to navigate through CATEGORIES

A polite bump please.

You need custom code that uses the current category id or cPath (available from the URL as $_GET['cPath']) to look up the previous and next categories (by sort orders? or ??), then populate buttons with those cPaths in the URL. How would you determine the prev/next order that should be followed? Will these all be top cats, or is there a hierarchy? Hopefully somebody will feel like writing out the actual code to do this.

You need a SQL query to select * from the categories table, order by ??your criteria. Then you can find the location of the current category in the resulting array and step backward and forward in the array to get the desired destinations.

Hmm, you lost me there lol.

Meta-code :) not real code, but describes the sequence of what it should do... You can help by clarifying the questions I posted on criteria.

Listed as per the order of categorise in sidebox. Tell me if I'm not making sense though please.

You're using category sort order to get the categories organized in the sidebox?
