Alphabetical Category order?

Question

I've recently imported some data that resulted in the creation of hundreds of categories. Unfortunately, within the CMS, they all list in ID order, making this very difficult to manage.

There used to be a way to change the order of categories in EE2. You had a "Master Sort Order" where could choose alphabetical or custom. Is there any way to do this in EE6+, or at least get them to alphabetical order within the system without manually dragging them into the correct place?

Answer 1

You can do this programmatically via:

{exp:channel:categories style="linear" orderby="category_name" sort="asc"}
    <a href="#">{category_name}</a>
{/exp:channel:categories}
