Many of these blocks have been switched from "theme" to "design" category, but from what I can tell from the issue, these blocks are in a subcategory within "theme".
Am I looking at the wrong reference for what the categories should be?

No, you're right. I misread the doc and renamed the theme category; undone as of the latest commit.
I'm still wondering what the best way is to introduce the concept of a subcategory. In the discussion, I raised the idea of using the keyword attribute, but I'm not sold yet.

Just saw this, thanks for starting it off. I was thinking something similar, but wasn't sure if changing block.json categories would be a breaking change. For example, if themes sorting core blocks by categories are expecting blocks to be in those categories. Might be an edge case. Creating a static list like #65430 does defer that decision at least. |
What?
This PR reorganizes block categories according to the new order proposed as a part of the Style Book refresh exploration — Issue: #53431
Why?
These changes align the block categories more closely with their functions and expected usage patterns. This reorganization aims to enhance the overall user experience by making block discovery more intuitive within the site editor.
