Exactly what I was looking for! One addition though. I changed my tag cloud to order by “count” instead of “name” and it appeared in order from smallest to largest.

In order to order it from largest to smallest I had to change
‘order’ => ‘ASC’, into ‘order => ‘DESC’,

Thanks again!

Hello Emily,

I think you will have to write a function of your own and then perhaps the task can be accomplished. According to WordPress Docs (Docs.wordpress.org), You can arrange Tag Cloud order by name or count only and in Ascending, Descending or Random orders only. To do what you are trying to do, you will have to write a function.
Sorry, I couldn’t be of much help.

Regards,
Dev.

Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a question, maybe you can help.
I’m using 4 tags in tag cloud to create sort of sub-menu.
I used ‘include=32,58,64,96′ to include only the 4 tags.
Now, I would like the tags to appear ordered not by name or count but by tag_ID.

Do you know how to do it ?

Thanks in advance for any answer you might give.

Is there a way to have the tag cloud justified, instead of left-aligned?
