We are getting into the same busy situation as your other patch:

Let's PLT/maintainers decide.

Exactly, but with the same kind of importance. As suggested by Brian, the solution is to think the search that works for id , title , alias and language, without showing the search criteria in the label

just an idea, what happens when you surround the id with display:none?

In my opinion, exposing database ids in the user interface is a "smell" that indicates we have a problem in our UI design.

We do have a UI issue with this. I agree with seeing if we can do something
like Robert suggests

I can see the benefit of this PR in particular for multilingual websites.

Multilingual websites might have multiple categories with similar names which sometimes makes it difficult to choose categories, e.g. with a structure like:
Category (en-uk)
| - Downloads
| - - Components
| - - Modules
| - - Plugins
Categorie (nl-nl)
| - Downloads
| - - Componenten
| - - Modules
| - - Plugins

Adding a possibility to switch on the category ID behind the Category Names might be very helpful in such cases.

I have tested this item successfully on 0c6f09c

I've successfully tested this PR, the Category ID is added to the Category Name, e.g.:
Menus > mainmenu > menu item of type Category Blog: lists "Category title (id) (language code)"
Modules > Latest News > Category: shows "Category title (id)"

btw: I noticed that another PR #9739 already solved this issue for me by adding a language tag behind the Category Name. IMHO having an ID (from this PR) + Language tag will clutter the layout.

Thank you for your contribution but it has been decided that this is not something that will be included in the core of Joomla.
