    I have a site that will use a multilevel suckerfish type navigation. The nav looks sort of like this:

    ——————-
    1st level link
    • 2nd level link
    • • 3rd level link
    • • 3rd level link
    etc.
    etc.
    ——————-

    ...you get the idea. I have two problems:

    1.The client wants to be able to switch the order of the 1st level links, so that “Home | About | Store” could be switched to “About | Home | Store.”
    2. The client wants the 1st level links (that open the submenus on hover) to also be linked to entries.

    My first thought was to use a single weblog and parent and child categories, because it’s easy to change the order of categories. How do I make the 1st level link go to a particular entry, though? Is there a better way to organise this?

    I’m worn out from working and need your help! Thanks.

    Have you looked at the Navigator module? It allows you to define navigation sets, with whatever text or custom URLs you want.

    That did the trick. I left details of my solution over at the module thread (over here).

    Thanks Buddy!
