First thanks for all the feedback. Eve my life and business partner, also the more articulate one will be doing the clean up
My question today is can catagories be put in a specific order or does it have to go by ABC

The categories do have to be in alphabetical order.

Welcome to ecrater.

i thought so
problem is we use Clearance Corner for all left over stray styles which means it is our first catagory
not exactly leading with best foot

Also, the categories aren't just alphabetical but alphanumerical and some folks have solved problems like that by adding numbers to the beginning of the cat names. Of course, that may only work if you rarely add new cats.

One way to get around the order of categories is to use the alphabet. It will get the category in order you want them.

Look on the left menu - this is subcategories but I wanted them in order by size - without the a, b, c's there it put size 11 and 12 before Size 4 and smaller.

Here I had to use spaces that don't appear to be noticed at all

Look at the left menu - again sub-categories - I wanted them in Size order
to get Size XLarge Tall at the top of the list instead of the bootom I had to enter a couple extra spaces after Size and before XLarge
It worked for me.
