 * Hi there.
    I currently manage a store with a large number of categories in a 
   hierarchy.
 * I have an issue in some of them where they are not appearing in alphabetical 
   order when viewing the categories through the store.
 * How can I make sure they are displayed alphabetically within their parent?
 * A perfect example is on this page: [https://www.mgautos.uk.com/product-category/milltek/](https://www.mgautos.uk.com/product-category/milltek/)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcategory-ordering%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can reorder the categories from the list at Products > Categories.
 * Click and drag the three lines at the right-hand side of the item.
 * This will be reflected across the site.
