    Dragging and dropping categories in the media library is extremely difficult for me. I have a bunch of nested categories, and I often wish to reorganize them, for example to be in alphabetical order. However, when I drag a category, any slight movement quickly changes the category’s location in a way that I find very unpredictable.

    Example:

    [Category A]
    – [Subcategory 1]
    – [Subcategory 2]
    [Category B]
    – [Subcategory 3]

    If I mouse-down on [Subcategory 2], it will quickly alternate between the following positions:

    POSSIBILITY ONE:
    [Category A]
    – [Subcategory 1]
    [Subcategory 2]
    [Category B]
    – [Subcategory 3]

    POSSIBILITY TWO:
    [Category A]
    – [Subcategory 1]
    – – [Subcategory 2]
    [Category B]
    – [Subcategory 3]

    Moving the mouse up or down a bit doesn’t make it any better, as it just tries to nest [Subcategory 2] under a different parent.

    Sometimes trying to move its neighbor instead (for example, instead of moving [Subcategory 2] above [Subcategory 1], move [Subcategory 1] below [Subcategory 2]) helps, but sometimes it makes it much much worse as it nests [Subcategory 1] under [Subcategory 2] which can be very difficult to undo if there are a lot of other nested subcategories.

    Do you think there might be a fix to this issue anytime soon?

    Hi!

    Drag and Drop functionality is based on wordpress’s menu. When you sort wordpress’s menu, it works exactly plugin’s category. I don’t think it is hard to work with.

    Regards.
