[TYPO3-ttnews] sorting CATMENU (subcategories)

[Joachim Streit]

I solved it with this
//				$res = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTquery($fields, 
'tt_news_cat', $lConf['parentCat'].$this->SPaddWhere. 
$this->enableCatFields,'',$this->config['catOrderBy']);

$lConf['parentCat']

TSSetup:
tt_news.displayCatMenu {
parentCat = parent_category= 8   # uid of the selected Main-Category
}


or is there a better solution?
