Fixing Magento Category Order Problems
Recently, one of our clients could not get their product categories to appear in the order set in the Magento Catalog > Manage Categories screen. No matter how they dragged and dropped the categories, the ones near the top would not display as intended on the front end.
How Magento Orders Categories
Categories are displayed in navigation menus based on a field titled “position” in thecatalog_category_entity data table. By default, the order is displayed in ascending order. There are other ways of adding code to display categories alphabetically, but by default, the order shown is determined by the position value.
So, why would changing the order under Manage Categories not work?
What I Observed
When working in the Manage Categories menu, the client and I were focused on manipulating the top 2-3 categories, as those were the ones most important to him at the time. We could change their order, but even after re-indexing the Flat Catalog, the front end would still not display the correct order.
