Sort categories in Prestashop

In both the Back Office and the Front Office, PrestaShop automatically sorts categories alphabetically as they are added.

However, you may manually sort categories in the order of your choice by adding a numerical prefix to the category name:

  • In Back Office > Catalog > Categories section, locate the category you want to modify.
  • In its Action column, click the Edit icon.
  • In the Category edit page, add the number and then a period (.) before the category name, without spaces.

Use at least two-digit numbers (e.g., 01, 02, 03). This will help keep categories in the correct order. Use three-digit numbers for stores that contain between 100 and 1000 categories, etc.

  • Save, and repeat to all categories you want to sort.
