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. 100% agree, this is confusing, we should remove, it can be done on save. > [@erlend\_sh](#): > > 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: ```plaintext foo foo/bar baz ``` User changes to: ```plaintext baz foo/bar foo ``` System fixes to: ```plaintext 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. > [@erlend\_sh](#): > > Right now #howto:sysadmin can be position 3 while #howto is position 8. In my opinion sub-categories should be positioned as something like 3-1, 3-2 etc, inheriting the primary position of their parent category. At the moment you can’t even get to the UI cause we don’t have fixed categories ordering enabled, so that is a different kettle of 🦀s --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-reordering-ux-could-be-simpler/83171)._
