Checked on latest trunk (after #2606), the default order of the categories in the Categories & Tags panel doesn't seem right.
I have a decent amount of categories in my local install (the ones from the Theme unit test data xml and a few more) so the list is pretty long. Comparing the order in the classic editor and in Gutenberg, they're different:
On the left: the classic editor list (I've avoided to expand the list to show all the categories)
On the right: the Gutenberg list split in 3 parts
In a fist time I thought it's an issue related to lowercase/uppercase first letter, but then noticed there's no apparent logic in the misplacement. Some categories with uppercase first letter have a wrong order, others don't.
From a user experience perspective, users should be able to quickly and easily find the category they're interested in and the current core implementation provides an alphabetical order, case insensitive.
