 What is attached is a screen shot of my Toggle Menu, applied via a widget
 to the sidebar on the site. The Toggle Menu is built under
 Appearances...Menus.

 Note: I still need to build up the bulk of this menu.

 Notice that the first group in my toggle menu is Filter by Category. The
 menu options on here were selected by me from the Product Categories menu
 under Appearances...Menus.

 Unfortunately, now that I have added almost 200 categories, the Product
 Categories menu is incurring a root level glitch, it is near impossible to
 select the correct child menu categories and to place them under the
 parent categories which I have selected prior when building Filter by
 Categories under for the Toggle Menu.

 Example: notice the Category ‘Alvin’ exists FOUR TIMES in the example
 screen shot under View All. This is not a typo. Alvin is a brand for
 multiple sub-sub categories. It is a brand that should exist as a product
 category under the child category of a parent category three levels down
 the tree. I should be able to clearly identify this child’s parent and
 grandparent category…I can’t! This is because all four grandchild product
 categories for Alvin exist under the Root, A-Z, in the Product Categories
 selection menu. It is a mess.

 This isthe problem at hand. Product Categories selection menu is not
 working as it should and is not showcasing a tiered menu of parent and
 child categories and it should. There is something amiss.

 NOTE: my Category structure tree is just fine if I go to
 Products...Categories in the dashboard where my parent and child
 categories were created, the structure is sound.

 Please refer to the following screenshot of the dashboard on this page:

 It's an accurate depiction of a tree menu.

 Please advise.
