IMO, you don't WANT to change that behavior. The category_id should
remain as a auto-fill field for the database itself, then just sort the
results of your categories by name or order instead of by id when
displaying out to the page.

I have created some PHP scripts that use MySQL to organize the
photographs on my web site.
They are grouped into categories and the table for categories has these
fields:
Category_id
Category_order
Category_name
Category_description
When creating a category, the category_id field is blank
I want to create another form to allow populating and/or changing this
field and then updating the database.
I will select all category rows, dynamically build the form and update
the database, of course.
But the next level of detail is not clear to me.
What should I make the form look like? Can I do it so that after the
update order values will always go from 1 to n where n is the number of
categories?
Thanks
