Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to relabel an Organized Category as an Orphan.
An Orphaned category is beneficial as it prevents users from stumbling across unfinished, obsolete, or inapplicable content.
An Orphaned category will not appear within the category hierarchy. Users browsing through your site will not see it. Furthermore, you can flag any Orphan Category as Private. This prevents it from appearing in the search results of unprivileged users.
By default, new category pages, created by using the Create a Page option (from the user drop-down menu), will be listed in the Orphan section of the Category Manager.

Drag and drop the category that you want to reorganize as an orphan into this new sample category.

The category that you want reordered will be located inside this sample category.

Click on the Edit tab.

By deleting the parent category, the categories organized within this deleted parent become orphans.
