Script for Sorting Categories Alphabetically

I have 1000s of categories and like to have them sorted in the backend. I have attached a script that will do it. Enter the id of the parent category and this script will sort all its children. Specifically, it updates the category_ordering field so that the categories are displayed in alphabetically sorted order.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers.

PS: Of course, the attachment needs to be renamed .php to work.

Thanks for your participation.

ps: we don't test this script.
