Looking at add a field to the Category table that will allow for better sorting when looking for a category to edit.
We have mulitple stores with similar category names such as "Accessories". Opencart admin page lists them alphabetically by the category name. The category name has to be "Accessories" because this is what shows up in the main menu. So I'm left with 4 categories with the name "Accessories" and it takes time to figure out which one to edit. It would be better if there was a "sort" field or a "category alias" that would clean up the admin view.
admin/index.php?route=catalog/category
This extension (below) looks ok but it does not do what is required. A new entry needs to be made into the database which will show up as a field in the category editor. It would have been better if there was a field called "Menu Name" and this would be the name that shows up in menus. The "Category Name" should be anything like "Store 1 Accessories". This after all is how products work with "Model" field.
