    Default Sort Order for Categories

    Can Sort Orders for either Products or Categories be entered as negatives? And if they are entered as negatives will the category sort from bottom most negative to highest positive?

    That is correct ... it would be best to backup the database then you can run a SQL on the table to replace the field sort_order with sort_order * 10 ...
