Here on Archidekt at first it seemed like the custom categories would order themselves by which categories were populated first. However after trying this method, all of a sudden one of the categories changed order. So at this point I wanted to post and ask, is there any way to control the ordering of custom categories? So far I tried alphabetical, numerical, order of creation--it only seems to care about the order that you started putting cards in the category, but even then it might decide to change the category order based on some other criteria.\n"}]}

The result of this is that it appears super random to users and even those that know what it's trying to do have very little control over it. Not ideal.\n\nIn the not too distant future, we plan to change it to sorting the categories numerically/alphabetically (either by default or as an option) so users have more direct control over how their pages look. Numbers would likely come before letters so that if you wanted to dictate the exact order of your categories, you could simply name them with a number in front sequentially. \n\nThere's nothing permanently decided on this yet so the final iteration could look totally different. Regardless, it's definitely something on our radar as requiring attention.\n"}]}
