How do I sort keywords in Elements 2022?

I just added a new sub-category keyword (inside Places).  It now shows up at the bottom of the list. I want to sort it so its in proper alphebetical order.  I may have done this before since all other kewords seem to be in alphabetical order.  I went to edit, preferences, keywords and switched from manual to alphabetical but still can't move the sub-category.  How can I sort?  Thanks.

Can you show us a screenshot of your Places hierarchy.  It may be that you are creating a sub-category when you should be creating a new keyword or vice versa.  Are you able to click and drag the keyword to the correct alphabetical order in the hierarchy?

Correct. I accidently made it a sub-category (inside Places) instead of a new keyword.  I deleted it and added it back in as a new keyword (inside Places).  It auto-sorted and all is now fine.  Thanks for the reply.
