Is there any way to sort the category names on the category bar (like alphabetically)?

Yeah.. I was looking for it. Is there a way that we can modify file directly?

I have the answer for this and it is technical.
You cannot change the sort through the interface at this time.
You ahve to log into phpAdmin and then go to the Store DB and click on Categories...then click export > File Name...give it a name like Category and save as the default SQL.
Now with text editor (notepad) open up the file you just downloaded (category.sql) and you will see the order. Fix it to be in Alpha...save file.
Go back to phpAdmin and go to root of DB...check off Category and DROP the table. Then at DB root...click Import and find the category.sql that you just modifed and import it...Exit and refresh your Store screen and now the Categories will be in Alpha order. Whew!
That is the only way as I tried several...do NOT do this if you are not experienced and know how to work within phpAdmin.
TIP - plan out your site and add your categories in Alpha order from the beginning.
