can i change the order of posts by the ID of comments?

Let me try this…
First off, I want to be able to dynamically create a new page that pulls content from posts. For example, if I want to create a page about dogs, I want it to pull all posts published in the dogs category. I am using the Custom Fields of the page to add category as the key and the category name (dogs) in the value, to know where to pull the information. To determine this when the page loads, I have used the following code within the PHP call:

$cat=get_post_meta($post->ID,’category’,$single=true);

This pulls the category from the Custom Fields and stores it as $cat

Next, I use the following code:

$post=query_posts(”category_name=$cat&posts_per_page=5″); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

Then the normal display stuff for the loop.

Funny thing (frustrating things actually) is that it works PERFECTLY on one website, but will not on another and I can’t find ANY differences. I am using the same exact code. I know it is pulling the category because I added to the else part and it prints the correct category. So it is just not pulling the content in the loop.

I did try your method of :

$posts=query_posts($query_string . “&category_name=$cat”);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

But that showed only the PAGE named after the category (same page I am on!)

I am lost why the loop works on one site but not the other. Any ideas? This is killing me!

I have then added the following code (using includes to keep it clean) to show the posts for “dogs” on the page:
