Overview
This plugin orgnizes the layout of categories boxes in the post add/edit screens and will work for all post types in your website. If you have a lot of categories in your posts and you face difficulties in creating posts because of a lot of scroll to select the appropriate category, then this plugin is for you.
I have updated the plugin and now the folding of categories will work on quick edit screen also.
