I am trying to use WordPress' built in function for calling a list of categories. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be an argument for how to pull the most popular categories (say top 5). I am using the code below which is pulling in all categories. Any idea on how I could modify this to display the top 5 most used categories?
<?php
$args = array(
'show_option_all' => '',
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'style' => 'list',
'show_count' => 0,
'hide_empty' => 1,
'use_desc_for_title' => 1,
'child_of' => 0,
'feed' => '',
'feed_type' => '',
'feed_image' => '',
'exclude' => '1',
'exclude_tree' => '',
'include' => '',
'hierarchical' => 1,
'title_li' => __( '' ),
'show_option_none' => __( '' ),
'number' => 5, // limits the number of displayed categories
'echo' => 1,
'depth' => 0,
'current_category' => 0,
'pad_counts' => 0,
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'walker' => null,
);
wp_list_categories( $args );
?>

You can order by count to order them by the number of posts they are attached to. Use number to limit the number of terms returned:
wp_list_categories( [
'orderby' => 'count',
'order' => 'DESC',
'number' => 5
] );

Don't feel so bad, I don't thinkcountis listed anywhere as a valid value fororderby, you have to look at the documentation for the genericget_termsto see that it's possible to do this.
