New description:

 I have typed in lots of categories but when I go to menu, sometimes the
 hierarchy I have chosen for the category item sticks, other times I see
 them mixed up and NOT in the hierarchy format, under the Parent Category I
 chose for it. I'm doing a complicated Recipe site, with every allergy diet
 type, under its own allergy category with sub-categories, which is part of
 the problem. Your cool software assumes simplistic, "normal" organization.
 Unfortunately, I'm way beyond "normal". ;)
 For example:
 Instead of
 {{{
 Corn Allergy
 --Corn Allergy Main Course
 ----Corn Allergy Pasta
 ----Corn Allergy Rice
 --Corn Allergy Bakery
 ----Corn Allergy Bread
 ----Corn Allergy Desserts
 }}}

 I'll see: Mixed up completely!
 {{{
 Corn Allergy
 Corn Allergy Bakery
 Corn Allergy Main Course
 Corn Allergy Other
 Corn Allergy Breads
 Corn Allergy Desserts
 Corn Allergy Condiments and Sauces
 }}}

 For me, this totally breaks my site (Critical) and makes me want to go
 back to hardcoding (not cool) and NOT using Wordpress but I listed
 Severity as Major because most people do NOT do what I do.
