Here is a genuine category scenario:

Travel and Tourism (12 items total in category and subs)
Which has 4 items in it

There are sub-categories
Apartments to Rent (2)
Hotels (4)
Resorts (2)

From the 4 under Travel and Tourism I want to move 2 into
sub-categories and create another (which is not a problem)

However when I click Travel and Tourism from Browse in Admin hoping to see the 4 items - nothing appears.

I will delete the category and re-enter the items in the
subs I want them in .... that will solve the problem short term, at least until I need to move items again.
