Yeah. I once wrote some code to alphabetize them at the rails console, I think, but I don’t see it at hand.

You can probably get [https://ask.discourse.com/](https://ask.discourse.com/) or some other AI to give you some code to do it. . .. Well, I couldn’t.

This might work, but I didn’t try it.

```plaintext
cats = Category.where("parent_category_id is not null").pluck(:parent_category_id).uniq

cats.each do |cat|
   subs = Category.where(parent_category_id: cat.id)
   subs_sorted = subs.sort_by { |c| c.name.downcase }
   pos = 10
   subs_sorted.each do |sub|
      sub.update(position: pos)
      pos += 10
   end
end

```
