How do I move category but keep the same url?

I want to move existing categoryA which has url .../index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13
into another categoryB and make that categoryA a subcategory of CategoryB. But when I move it, the categoryA now has url .../index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_13

How to keep the same url of categoryA?

This is for SEO purposes of course :smile:

How to keep the same url of categoryA?

You can't. By moving the category, you have changed its position, you can put up a 301 permanent redirect though and not lose you ranking.
