Move an entire Product Category?

Is there a way to move a sub-category within your store to a different category?  I am trying to divide a category in my store that's gotten too large, into two different categories.  They are sufficiently large I *really* don't want to have to move individual products into the new category!  I can organize them within the parent category, but I can't figure out if there's a way to move them to a different parent category.

ie,
I want to move all products and the subcategory itself from, say:
My Store>Category A>subcategory>(products)
to:
My Store>Category B>subcategory>(products)

Bump?

Anyone have any idea?

Select a group (Perhaps the entire sub-category if not too large) using the check boxes under the
products.
Choose  EDIT from the actions menu - pop up will tell you that there are multiple selections, select OK
Navigate to CATEGORIES on the left side, then select Your Store Category.

Good Luck

Unfortunately, you can't move the actual subcategory. You'll have to make a new subcategory with the same name in the new location, then move all the products to that new subcategory. And then wait. After all the products get done moving, you can delete the old, empty subcategory.

PS. to Zazzle- It would be SPECTACULAR if we could actually move categories!
