I was hoping somebody could help me with a PHP script or give me a suggestion that would easily allow us to copy a vocabulary.

I am not familiar with PHP or programming.
We have tried using groups but I can't make the content get presented in a organized news paper/magazine order in the group.

I have also tried creating vocabularies of:
content, community, issue
The problem is there is no order to the nodes in the last two vocabularies only date order.
My vocabulary has about 47 terms and it is designed to be local news, information, and discussion content for a community.
I would like to copy the vocabulary so that I can build multiple communities easily. We also are going to publish the information in a weekly magazine.
My firwst test community is Washington, DC.
If you can help, please let me know. If it helps, we'll give you free advertising in our publication.
