I felt that currently, managing categories in Discourse is tedious and unintuitive, especially for forums with many categories. A drag-and-drop interface for reordering categories, similar to XenForo’s system would greatly improve usability and efficiency. This feature would provide a more seamless and user-friendly way to organize forum structures. It would also enhance admin workflow by allowing quick adjustments without navigating multiple settings. Would love to hear thoughts on this!

Agreed! I’d go as far as to say all implementations of sorting items with arrows to move things up and down should be replaced with drag and drop ordering.
For example, we’re using the Tag Icons component and have 150+ tags with icons. If I want to add a new icon and move it up in the list, it’ll take far too many clicks to achieve.
