Well, in the forum there are several discussions there however I accidently
delete almost all posts during a spam clean up.
I believe the better way is for user to be able to move around the categories.
Your patch will change the current behavior and break the users who want the
categories in the order of creation. Sorry I cannot integrate this patch.
However I will leave this issue open until we have a good solution.

Is there a workaround that could do this? I have several categories (maybe 25)
on one deck and Im wondering how I could do this?

There is currently no easy workaround. The current list is ordered by when you
added the category. Is there any use case for this behavior? If not I guess I
can changed the behavior to sort alphabetically like rogerkeays.RK did.

I dont see why someone would need it by the date added to be honest. Though
this is the first time Ive ever used a deck with a large amount of categories.
Normally I use only 3 or 4 which are all viewable at once. Though, if a user
needs them in a certain order of date they created the category. They could
always prepend some numbers to it. Such as 01_Foobar, 02_Foobar, 03_Foobar,
04_Foobar. That's my thought on it.

You could always add an option to sorted by date added if you absolutely must
have backwards compatibility. Otherwise alphabetical sort would probably be a
more sensible default.

Personally I don't want to add an option. I will tentatively change it to
sorting alphabetically and see if there are complains. There are some languages
that does not have alphabetical order and I wonder how the lexicographical
order is defined in languages like Chinese and Japanese's Kanji.

The implementation is also more complicated than rogerkeays.RK's code. It
doesn't sort:
1. Newly added category
2. Modified category
Also after sorting, the newly added or modified category's radio box should be
checked.

Ok this is the actual change:

Please verify it and let me know if there are problems in tomorrow's nightly
build. Otherwise I will keep this issue closed.

I tried the latest build #82 and the lists are sorted alphanumerically now. Can
confirm it works for me T
(Though, now the application will close when I use the application switcher on
my device.)

Could you tell me when it crashes? I tried to go to category dialog and then
switch applications and it seems working fine.

Sure. It happens when I open and view a large number of databases. I load maybe
about 6-7 most containing 600-1000 words into the recent list. Then I "Study"
one of those decks. I then, press the "HOME" key to Android, I may open another
app (usually the Browser), I hold "HOME" again to get the appliation switcher
and select Anymemo. I recieve the error message "Unfortunately, Anymemo has
stopped".
I tried reusing the previous nightlies from December 22, 2013 and December 24,
2013 and they do not have this issue. Something seemed to have changed since
then when it tries to redraw (or render the screen) because I tried Nightly #82
and Nightly #80 and the problem happens. So the problem may've started to
somewhere between builds of Nightlies #76 and #80

Between that time, there were a very big change for issue 101. I completely
rewrite the display code in AnyMemo. So it is quite hard to pin-point where the
error would be. I don't know if you are able to get the android logs using and
app called "CatLog" or plain adb logcat command line. That would be really
helpful. My phone's memory is too large to reproduce the issue, I will try some
emulator.

Ok, I can get it after trying a lot for 20 minutes finally I reproduce it once.
The crash is unrelated to category changes. I opened issue 295 for you and
close this bug.

I'm one person who liked having the categories in the order they were in the
category database table (note: this is not necessarily the order they were
added, since a user familiar with simple SQL statements can reorder categories
as desired). I had sorted my categories so that they were in an order that made
sense for the material I was studying (based on a logical progression from one
topic to the next, with related topics together). Now that they are in
alphabetical order, they are actually UNordered from my point of view, because
the alphabetical order has no intrinsic meaning.
I'd very much like an option to not use alphabetical sorting. (Although for
simplicity, it would probably be best if the option was labelled "sort
categories alphabetically" and it was on by default, and then users who wanted
database order could untick it.)
I'm aware of the workaround of adding 01, 02, 03, etc to the start of the
category names, but this looks pretty ugly and takes up screen space that's at
a premium on a small screen.
