OK going to make a call here on what we 100% support doing!

@BlackKnob

the [Fix Positions] button is redundant.

pressing [Save Order] should fix position before saving.

Furthermore, one of the biggest shortcomings of our current re-ordering interface is that it treats sub-categories as independent instead of being in fact a child of a parent category.

100% agree we should magically fix subcategory ordering on save. So:

Before:

foo
foo/bar
baz

User changes to:

baz
foo/bar
foo

System fixes to:

baz
foo
foo/bar

We do not support adding drag-and-drop. We are not too enthused about doing a giant UX redesign of the whole reorder menu.

Going to add a pr-welcome on remove fix order AND auto correct sub category position on save.
