    If you don't want to use a plugin, then the easiest option you have is to code the nav items yourself into the header...but I'm assuming you don't want to do that?

  Upgrade to the WordPress 3.0 beta and utilise the upcoming menu feature. It'll be out in a matter of weeks anyway, so if you don't want to use the beta, you could just wait. Then you'll be able to do exactly what you need, plugin-free.

  This code will give you the opportunity to combine the page and categories list in one menu. I created a function with the list_page and list_cats functions in one new function. Maybe its what you are looking for?
  
  

  
  
  <!-- First create the function -->
  
  <?php
  
  function wp_list_pagecats( $args = '' ) {
  
  	$defaults = array(

  		'hide_empty' => 1, 'use_desc_for_title' => 1,
  
  		'child_of' => 0, 'feed' => '', 'feed_type' => '',
  
  		'feed_image' => '', 'exclude' => '', 'exclude_tree' => '', 'current_category' => 0,
  
  		'hierarchical' => true, 'title_li' => __( '' ),
  
  		'echo' => 1, 'depth' => 0
  
  	);

    By using this, can I exclude some pages, and how do I order categories - I know there is the page order, but is there a category order?

  I would just use the page nav and then install the plugin Page Links To, then what you do is create a page and name it after a category then use the Page Links To options to redirect to the category you want.
  
  Done this before on one of my old sites.
  
  Page Link To:

  If you have a specific order that you want things, I would say hard-code it into your theme. You can do a combination of hard-coded links and dynamic links. For example:
  
  

  
  
  <ul class="sf-menu">
  
                  <li><a href="<?php bloginfo($url); ?>">Home</a></li>
  
                  <li><a href="<?php bloginfo($url); ?>/Cat1">Category 1</a></li>
  
                  <li><a href="<?php bloginfo($url); ?>/Cat2">Category 2</a></li>
  
  		<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&exclude=34'); ?>
  
  		<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&exclude=1,2,7,10'); ?>
  
  </ul>
  
  

  
  
  This way you have a dynamic and static menu. Just an FYI, in WP 3.0 you will be able to make your own custom sidebar menus and use them as you please!
