Sorting of Categories (Community Wishlist/W125)

Description

I often categorize articles. Because I do this frequently from my smartphone, I get problems with sorting them.

When I use Hotcat there is no function for sorting. Using the VisualEditor is also a problem because catching a category by pressing on it with my finger positions only the page not the category. So I have to switch to Wikitext.

A possible way I think would be by Hotcat. A switch that changes the context so you can shift categories to the left or the right. It shoudn’t be another menu like in the VisualEditor because it would lead to the same problems I have with that. There would only one extra button needed in Hotcat, not one for every entry.

Or do you have any other idea?
