Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I've added various categories such as Auto:Fuel and Home:Mortgage and Vacation:Lodging among others. It seems that the categories are saved simply in the order they were created. So because I entered Vacation:Lodging last, it shows up as my first budget category. There is no way to sort them other than to manually drag and drop them; this would be very tedious.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Offer an alphabetical sort option per category group at least per category group; ideally sort all categories and category groups
