Right now, everything is out of whack. You have solids in other places and not where they really should be. Metal and tungsten should be in solids. Antimatter should be in gases. Honestly, I can just take some hours out of my long day to write up a way I believe the categories should be arranged and where certain things should be.
How are Metal and tungsten in wrong category? Their main use is conduct electricity.

What I believe it should be to follow the category format. Some will stay just because of category names, but others will change because of category names.

Can you give a clearer list of what should be moved where?
That'd... take a while. I'll try to tomorrow
I created a lua script that moves TUNG, METL, DMND and INSL to solids, FIRE and CFLM to gases. WHOL, BHOL and GRVT to Force. Here's the code if someone want use it:
-- Move elements
for k,v in pairs(tpt.el) do
v.menu = 1
end
elements.property(tpt.el.metl.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.dmnd.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.tung.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.insl.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.fire.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_GAS)
elements.property(tpt.el.cflm.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_GAS)
elements.property(tpt.el.whol.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.bhol.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.grvt.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
It's really easy make scripts like this.

I don't know why did you put AMTR in gases. The gaseous AMTR was a glitch. Was cool though.
I think it would be a good idea to fix up the menus a bit. Could I suggest that DLAY be moved into the electronics menu, since it's more of an electrical component rather than a powered material? Also, I would suggest to keep PSTN and FRME in the Force menu, since its nice to have them together and FRME isn't a powered material. Besides that, I think all the previous suggestions are good, and as edr-01 just showed us, it wouldn't be difficult, just a bit time consuming.
