Sorting Categories

[bgnm2000]

I have my subcategories in an alphabetical list yet when I want to add a new subcategory its a pain in the ass because I have to click move up a million times just to get it where I want. Each category has over 100 sub categories.

Does anybody know of a faster or more efficient way of doing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Elliot Nash

Search for this line in global.php and admin/categories.php

Code: [Select]

ORDER BY cat_order, cat_name ASC";
and replace it with

Code: [Select]

ORDER BY cat_name ASC";
After that the categories will always be sorted alphabetically.

Since v1.7.2 there is a new option "Category order" at the edit category page.
