I have just entered in a load of tasks and categorized them with various categories such as @office, and @phone, and 1:1Dad, and 1:2 Wife, and things like that.  I did this so that they would appear in a certain desired order when sorted by Category, but instead the categories are listed together, but the categories follow no particular order that I can decipher.  When I pull up the edit categories option they appear in the right order, but in the actual task list pane, they appear out of order.  Does anyone have a solution to fixing this?

It kinda drives me nuts because I'm trying to get them into a certain order.  

please help
