Why is "DIY" before "Decorative"?

[cattkitt]

Under "Home and Garden", there are the subcategories "DIY" and "Decorative". However, shouldn't "Decorative" come before "DIY" in the dropdown combo? I nearly didn't find the "Decorative" category because of this.

could be as if something is written by initials, initals come first when written in alphabetical order. Agreed it if it was known as "Do it yourself" if would be after "decorative".

People do say "I am going to do some DIY" or "I am going to the DIY shop". Maybe the full term is not necessary.

Sometimes you do have to kearn to look very carefully at the categories, some are massive, others tiny.

Looks like a mistake. In some places, like the "buy" first page it's like this:

Home & Garden (59,559)
Bathroom (1387) Bedroom (1942) Cleaning, Laundry & Vacuuming (389) Clocks (1809) Conservatory, Patio & Barbecue (105) Curtains & Blinds (575) Decorative (5835) Dining Room (326) DIY (12,752) Food & Drink (2136) Garden, Yard & Plants (4501) Healthcare (33)etc

In others, as you've seen, it's out of order.

Thank you.
Does anyone from Ebid ever peruse these threads to correct glitches and polish the site presentation, or do they just tend to be left as is?

They do read the forums from time to time, but don't monitor every thread. If anything important comes to light, it's more efficient to report it using the contact form or email.
