Comment (by technosailor):

 Replying to [comment:7 BrianLayman]:
 > +1 for bulk editing.  Right now it is very tedious and slow to change a
 number of links.  This UI change doesn't take up much room and it makes
 the category screen consistent with the user screen.  It already had the
 delete button, adding the Radio buttons from the user screen standardizes
 the UI.  I'd actually change the label on the button to match the user
 screen's button too.

 Thanks, I'll rediff and resubmit. Maybe I'll add a screenshot for visual
 help.

 > A feature I'd add to this would be sorting by (primary)category.  That
 would really help this screen.  Right now, you can't look at the links as
 they appear your site. Sorting by category would solve that problem.

 Good idea but outside of the scope of this ticket, right? Certainly a mod
 to the Manage Categories screen though.

 have to be considered.

 What are your thoughts. I can't really think of a fluid way to do this
 without a lot of bloat. I think the lowest common denominator we need to
 meet between the camp that says I'd like to move my blogroll or portions
 of it en masse and the camp that says lets give links multiple categories
 is simply being able to assign  a category en masse. Anything after one
 category is on the user to handle manually. Those are my thoughts.
