Moving Taxonomy Categories


Users can move categories within the Taxonomy Tree. Moving categories under different parents in the Taxonomy Tree will update the category path.

Categories always display in alphabetical, ascending order within the Taxonomy Tree. If users move categories, the move updates the hierarchical placement of the category.
