What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

The Article Categories are all out of order when I go look through them and it makes it difficult to look at and generally causes me irritation.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Making the Article Categories alphabetized would allow for a cleaner and more satisying user interface.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

The readers and followers would have an easier time locating what they are looking for with everything in alphabetical order.

The Team's Response

(The feature is already documented and up for review)   This might become an option but it will certainly not become the default.

    QoL shifts like this are small but would definitely help in making the overall experience of the website far more professional

    Make this optional not mandatory and then this will be good. Everyone has got their preference. The more customizable you make this, the more people will be happier.

    I would LOVE this, but maybe an option to turn it on or off? I've seen people who wouldn't like the alphabetical feature, but I'm constantly trying to get mine to do that. (It doesn't stay, for some odd reason!)

    Much prefer to keep it manual. I can see why others like it though. So, if this is done, please have it only as an option.

    A general sorting and filtering system would be quite nice, too. But yeah, by default they should be in alphabetical order.

    Then order them by alphabet? I don't really see why that would need to be automated. Besides the automation would generally always be incomplete and not work for all use cases anyway. And most of the time categories don't need to be ordered by alphabet anyway.

    I would love this, but only if you can toggle it on or off for each category, please

    So you want this to automatically happen at all times? I disagree with that. A helpful button to automatically sort the subcategories alphabetically as well, rather than only the articles, sure. But not making it mandatory.
