How to sort wordpress categories alphabetically?

Question

JavaScript

Hello! Please help, I display categories like this

<?php 
      $i=1;
      $cat = get_query_var('cat');
      $categories = get_categories('parent='.$cat.''); 
      foreach ($categories as $category) { $i++; }
      if ($i > 1) {
        foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
          <div class="smartphone wow fadeIn">
            <div class="smartphone-logo">
              <img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($category->term_id); ?>"/>
            </div>
            <div class="smartphone-content">  
              <span><?php echo $category->name; ?></span>
            	<p></p>
              <a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->term_id); ?>" class="blick"><span>Подробнее</span><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/img/icons/arrow-blue-icon.svg" width="7" height="11"></a>
            </div>
          </div>
        <?php } 
      } else {
      }
      ?>

How to make the categories appear alphabetically, and not by the time they were added - as it is now. Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

the function takes an array in which you can specify sorting and so on

Answer 2

For example like this:

$args = array(
  'taxonomy' => 'category',
  'orderby' => 'name',
//	'parent' => $cat,
);
$categories = get_terms($args);
