Creating subcategories and more

Once at least one category has been created inside an article type, it is possible to be more accurate in an article's classification, by creating subcategories and even more further.
 
For instance, for a "Drinks" article type containing the 'Corn Syrup-Based Colas', 'Sugar-Free Colas' and 'Fruit Juices' categories, one can define a new 'Fruit Juices / Orange Juice' category with the help of the Category Parent drop-down menu :

This option avoids the hassle of typing 'Fruit Juices / Orange Juice' inside the name field and shows clearly what this new category (which will be treated as any other category anyway) belongs to.

Now, articles can be added unto this new category as well as new sub-sub-(...)-categories, for example 'Fruit Juices / Orange Juice / Made From Concentrate' and 'Fruit Juices / Orange Juice / 100% Pure'. This system ensures that item classification is as accurate as it can be.
