Sorting Categories or Child Categories

Observe the following guideline on dropping the dragged item:

• To relocate, drag and drop the item unto line with circle on its left tip;

  
  
  

• To nest, drag and drop the item unto bordered item.

  

  Note: While sorting, some categories with child category sometimes tend to unshow its border line when its sub categories are fully displayed, it is difficult to nest when those borders are not shown. To avoid this, always unexpand or hide the properties of a parent by clicking the small black arrow.
