This is the list of all my available categories and their subcategories.
Once I set a category and a subcatgory for an article, on edit, all other subcategories are moved to the bottom of the page making the entire category list hard to follow especially for new authors. Example here.
Can something be done about this?
Hello,
Once you set a category to a post, it will be shown in the alphabetical order. Unfortunately there is nothing to be done about this as there is no setting to change this behavior from the theme side. It is a wordpress functionality so maybe you can find an online solution to prevent the moving of the categories or a plugin that can provide the feature you require.
Multumesc,

Alright.
Topic can be closed.
Should anyone be looking for a similar solution, hacking the functions.php could do the trick.
// Stop WordPress re-ordering categories/taxonomies when selected
function stop_reordering_categories($args) {
$args['checked_ontop'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_terms_checklist_args','stop_reordering_categories');
