I think this has been discussed before, and I would be in favor of being able to get reproducible names. However ideally, I think it should be up to the implementer to determine this. So, lets say you have a category (B,A) and age groups (Y,X,Z). So, the user would then get the following category combo options
B,Y B,X B,Z A,Y A,X A,Z So, the ordering of the category options should be the same as when the category is created and sorted by the user, not necessarily by alphabetical order.
