 * Hello!
 * I know it’s a small thing, but would you please, consider changing the order 
   of categories in the filter dropdown (above the media files) to match the order
   in the sidebar? Or at least alphabetically, by name.
    Right now the categories
   are ordered by ID, in ascending order. (the oldest categories at the top and 
   the newest at the bottom)

 * [@eusebiuoprinoiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eusebiuoprinoiu/) Good
   catch, mate! I’ll definitely fix it. Just added it to the roadmap: [https://happyfiles.io/roadmap/](https://happyfiles.io/roadmap/)

 * [@eusebiuoprinoiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eusebiuoprinoiu/) I just
   released HappyFiles 1.0 which got rid of the filter dropdown altogether. It was
   somewhat redundant, as you select categories from the sidebar anyway. It also
   messed up the filter bar styling, especially on smaller screens. And with the
   new addition to categorize posts, page, custom post types, etc. (only available
   to HappyFiles PRO users) having a post category plus HappyFiles’ category filter
   dropdown would have been very confusing. I just wanted to shine some light on
   why the filter dropdown is now gone.

 * Even better! I’m a fan of clean interfaces.
    Thank you for letting me know about
   the latest changes…
