Without my having done anything, the sub-categories jumped into the top level of the hierarchy and appeared at the bottom of the list in the "edit" interface. In the public interface, they disappeared. I've also noticed a minor spelling error in one of them. So my question, in detail is: Either, how can I delete the ones that don't show up right? Or, how can I edit them, and get them back where they belong in the hierarchy?
