Nextcloud has a tagging system.
'Categories' are tags, and should sync with that system.
The benefits would be:
1) Users managing different types of data (such as tasks, contacts, messages, files) would use the same sets of tags (including shared tags) to organise that data,
2) and in future be able to find that data by global searches.
3) It would make shared data management more consistent too.
4) The UI for tags would be consistent across apps (and that could be improved), and it would be more efficient - Users shouldn't need to learn endless different UIs and modes of operation to carry out the same task (using tags) within a single system (Nextcloud).

I will use this issue to collect all the improvements requested for categories:
- [ ] Integrate into Nextcloud tagging system
- [ ] Allow adding categories / tags by hashtagging in the title (https://github.com/nextcloud/tasks/issues/42)
- [ ] Integrate into search, clicking a tag should start a search (https://github.com/nextcloud/tasks/issues/47)

Tasks is so good! One question, is there a way to sort by categories? Thanks!

I came to the git repo to see if anyone had requested this feature already. Do you know why it was removed? It'd be great if could view list of categories in left-hand panel, filter by category, and view all tasks tagged with a category. Would replicate the main features from Tasks.org (mobile app I sync tasks with) that are currently missing from Tasks.

It was not removed. It was never available in the first place.
And you can filter by category. Just type the category name in the search box at the top right.

That is not filtering per category, if you search for example with "category" on the search box you will see everything containing "category" on title, description... Not only in the category field.
IMHO a nice improvement would be the possibility to filter with categories (more than one). This is already working with tags in files.

Please also have a look at #1453, it's a proper ticket for what @javisomoza asked for
