This was always the default behaviour, and still is for me, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong. Two suggestions - 1) I did add a new setting in 2.3.0 to separate the default sort order for categories (ldm/admin/cat_default_sort_order ) from the setting for enties (default_sort_order);

Thanks for this info. I did not realize that default_sort_order also ordered categories in 2.2.9, eventhough the description said it was for entries. I had it set on "date created" so setting it to "title" solved the problem. That's great that you provided categories with its own cat_default_sort_order setting in 2.3.0
