Question

Movable Type does not allow duplicate category names, even if the two categories are under different parent categories. Can this restriction be avoided?

Answer

There is a way, which makes Movable Type see all your category names being unique. And at the same time, if the user sees the categories, there may be duplicates.

Please read FAQ: Sorting the Categories and avoid alphabetical Sequence, where another question is answered but also solves this problem.
