Overview
FSM Backend Category Organizer allows you to group and organize the categories (or any other user-created hierarchical taxonomy) on the post editing page, making it easier to sort through them in environments where there is a large number of categories.
The limitations of WordPress in assigning categories
By default, the WordPress category assignment box shows the categories in a list format only. This method can cause usability problems in environments with a lot of categories, especially when the users must scroll down a lot to see all of them.
Additionally, it’s impossible to check at a glance all the categories that have already been assigned, due to the small dimensions of the box.
