# Admin-side : Reordering categories

 * Hello all,
 * I’ve tried to found out a solution for this, but with no chance by the moment:
   it is possible to change the order the categories are displayed … in the _posts
   editor_ ?
 * I’m interested in showing several of them before any others – just for usability
   reasons and ease of selection, but all the plugins I found are front-end oriented.
 * I tried to write them as follows (which isn’t really the best solution):
 *     ```
       A- Music
       B- Video Games
       C- Films
       and all the rest here, with no 'introduction letter'
       ```
   
 * , but in the blog they appear litterally like that, and I’d like to avoid it.
   
   Ideally, the cats would be created normally, but being shown in a specific order
   via some kind of hack.
 * Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks
