# Categories

Customization categories group related visual options together in the customization UI.

## Creating a Category Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to **Character Customization > Categories** and click **Create New**.

Each category entry defines:

| Field        | Description                                                                                        |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Display Name | Category label shown in the customization UI (e.g., "Hair", "Eyes", "Face", "Body", "Skin Color"). |
| Sort Order   | Display order in the UI — lower values appear first.                                               |

Categories organize both elements and colors. For example, a "Hair" category might contain hair style elements and a hair color option, while a "Face" category might contain facial feature elements.
