How to sort category options alphabetically?

[matheusbritobsb]

I’ve added item categories to my WordPress, but when I try to select categories for a new post or in the search on the homepage, they’re not in alphabetical order. How do I automatically sort them?

Hi,

If you set a custom Order (by entering the number in the Order field for a category) then categories will not follow the alphabetical order, they’ll check the Order priority instead. Please try setting custom Order for all categories or for none (if you unset Order for all categories, alphabetical order will be used - we use the WordPress function for alphabetical sorting so it should be ok).
