Hi, just to clarify if I have the same problem as OP @pfaffman or not …

I have a private category named Consultancy. Then I created a private sub-category “Customer 1” inside the “Consultancy”. As latest created, they are at the bottom. Because of they private, each customer sees only its own category.

When I reorder “Consultancy” putting it to the top of the list, I expect that the sub-category goes to the top too. But it stands at the bottom. May I have an option to auto-reorder sub-categories with the parent category in such cases? Because the reason of reordering is to provide customers to have their private categories at the first line when they compose new topics. Currently they find their category at the bottom (boring to scroll each time):
