The sort problem happens because Yahoo is sorting alphabetically, not 
numerically.  If you change all the level 2, 3, and 4 numbers to two-
digit strings, it will sort correctly.  I tested this on categories 
1.2 (--> 1.02) and 1.2.1 (--> 1.02.01), and they now appear as they 
should, before the 1.10 categories.  It might be a bit tedious to 
change them all, but I can go ahead and do that if you'd like.
