I know and support this scenario. To avoid messing up such an order, you
could/should prepend "1 - ...", "2 - ..." etc. to your categories. Otherwise
this is quite unstable. I guess. :) See RBParser, for example. They do it
with A/B/C for documenting categories.

I will make it a preference and disable it by default.

Best,
Marcel
