If you comment out that line, the subcategories will then sort by the Position Number you specify and not alphabetically. However, it will mess up the category order on the back end, which makes it more difficult to add a new product to the correct category/categories.

4.0.x Solution:

Only have the subcategories sorted by position number on the customer front-end by putting the usort in an IF statement as follows...
(Note: it's around Line 164 (4.0.19) and Line 171 (4.1.9) in my include/categories.php file)

if($current_area != 'C')
			{
			usort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");
			}

4.1.x Solution:
First, follow Post #22 in this same thread (on page 3):
http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=124458&postcount=22

Next, notice the usort is now uasort in the 4.1.x code...

			if($current_area != 'C')
			{
		uasort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");
			}

NOTE: Both of the 2 mods for the 4.1.x branch are in the same file: include/categories.php
