I’ve been doing a little bit of digging, but to no avail. I’ve toyed with a number of various options and haven’t found what I’m looking for. Ultimately, I’m trying to display our categories in a manner similar to the screen shot below. I’d love to create groups of categories as displayed.

I know the individual categories can be “separated” with padding, and I know each category can be targeted by category ID or category name. So what I’m hoping is to be able to replicate something that looks like this: [image] I realize for simplicity, the categories would …
The consensus is that it’s not a straightforward thing to implement:

Man I wish they could find a way to just insert placeholders on the reorganize categories.
With a fillable txt box.

Thanks for the answer! I’ll have to lean on our dev team to get creative with some CSS.
