Order of Subcategories

I have a review structure like this:

Articles
Reviews
Product Type
Manufacturer
Product

Some of the subcategories are the same because some manufacturers have products in different product types. My problem is when I add a review to a category I just get a really long list of categories and subcategories that isn't organized. It is very hard to find the right category to add the review to. Is there a way it can be displayed in a logical structure? Maybe clicking the category would bring up a new dropdown that listed the subcategories of the category you selected.

Here a workaround. Open cadmin/mod_review.php and replace:

        $query = DBQuery("SELECT reviewcat_id, reviewcat_name, reviewcat_permissions FROM esselbach_st_reviewcat");

        while (list($reviewcat_id, $reviewcat_name, $permissions) = mysql_fetch_row($query))

        {

with:

        $query = DBQuery("SELECT reviewcat_id, reviewcat_parent, reviewcat_name, reviewcat_permissions FROM esselbach_st_reviewcat");

        while (list($reviewcat_id, $reviewcat_parent, $reviewcat_name, $permissions) = mysql_fetch_row($query))

        {

            if ($reviewcat_parent) $reviewcat_name = "-- ".$reviewcat_name;

This is not perfect solution, but makes it a bit easier.

Version 2.0 of Storyteller has already a complete rewritten category function that even allows sorting all categories by priority.
