This one refers to the Bulk Edit Categories feature under the "Common tasks" tab in the admin interface.

I would like to alter the order of the categories on the main page. I found this option under Bulk Edit Categories but I dont get all categories to display there - only a small selection (main and subcategories with no apparent rule).

Any idea how I can toggle all categories to display here (at least the main categories).

You're probably using an old template for that page which doesn't have the pagination. 3.4's template looks right.

I have followed the install instructions strictly and have replaced all admin templates. Also I have (just) manually uploaded the admin template: bulkcategories.tpl from a freshly unpacked wsnlinks.zip

No result whatsoever. Please find attached a screenshot.

I see, with less than 20 top level cats it doesn't paginate. Open admin/bulkcategories.php and change 
  $template->paginate($page, $perpage, $settings->totalcats());
to 
  $template->paginate($page, $perpage, $settings->totalsubcats());

I want the Bulk Edit Categories to reflect which subcats belong to which top-level cats. Basically I want the subcats to stick together under their main cats. Is there any way to do this?

I've tried modifying the file as you instructed, but still isn't right.

Thanks.

Thanks - that did the trick.

Like Josh said, It would be nice to have them sorted by main category rather than only by their ID but at least it works now.

All versions prior to 3.4.0 had them grouped under their parents, but that created a problem in that only the categories within the site map could be shown, making the page fairly useless for sites with thousands of categories. People complained of that problem so I've switched it to this problem.
