Thanks for the reply. We have one API user account that has elevated priveleges. When I login via the browser with this account, I see the categories ordered in the same way as if I click through to the Community Structure admin UI. When I login as a "standard" user, they are ordered the same except that some categories are just not displayed, so I supposed this is based on permissions or something like that. I cannot see a way to assign permissions based on categories, so I will look for that information.
Lithium generally hides things if the user doesn't have permissions to access. (It also tends to hide things if they are empty).
AFAIK, the order is always as it appears in the community structure, just with categories/boards hidden as appropriate. If this causes confusion, you might want to consider putting all the limited-access categories at the bottom.
