A colleague recently asked the following question:

While there’s no button to click to alphabetize course categories–there is one for courses within a category, though–if have access to MySQL database for Moodle, you can make adjustments.

Here’s how using phpMyAdmin:

1. Open the mdl_course_categories table 

And then view/browse the data. You can click the NAME column header to alphabetize your list, then quickly go down the list editing each individual row to change the sort order.

2. Edit an individual row of the sort order field to reflect the order you want. For example, the top of the list would reflect “1”, the second category in the list would be “2” and so on.
