Is it possible to output an orderby string returning a list of entry_id for a specific category?
I'm building an XML Feed for a flash website and need to basically parse out a list (presumably pipe separated entry_id's) for each category of a channel.
So for example:
channel = furniture
cat1 = seating [entries: 1,2,3,4]
cat2 = storage [entries: 5,6,7]
I'd need some way of outputting {order_field_name:cat1} to only get for example "1|2|3|4" for the entry_ids of entries matching the channel and category.
Is that possible somehow?

Well, it is possible, but with a fair amount of PHP in your template, I guess. The {order_field_name:cat1} variable is not possible, I'm afraid.

Ok no worries. but how would I go about getting the order of a specific channel + category order as it is?

Use a channel:entries tag, order by the Low Reorder field, set the category parameter and output the {entry_id}. Something like
{exp:channel:entries channel="my_channel" orderby="order_field" sort="asc" category="1"}{entry_id},
{/exp:channel:entries}
