Re-ordering Categories using FreeMarker

I am writing a custom component to list all Categories in the community structure. I want to list the categories in a custom order and not by the Category IDs which is the default sorting.

 

The admin console gives you option to reorder blogs/boards under a category but there is no option to reorder categories under the structure.

 

Is there any way we can custom order the categories using freemarker?

 

Thanks in advance.

      Logic for sorting could be one or multiple of the following - 

      1. order by Name

      2. order by ID

      3. order by Name, ID

      4. if I have 4 categories - A, B, C & D; I might want a custom sorting like = C, B, D, A or D, B, A, C

       

      something like want we can do with PL/SQL
