I requested my data. Is there a summarized list of categories when I’m looking at my data?
Looking at my data is hard to navigate.
I have seen nothing on this in 20 years. I have also not requested my data. Likely, though, it’s a combination of database dumps, perhaps with some minor organization to make it somewhat digestable. I can’t see a company cleaning it up much, that will fall on the requesters shoulders.
There may be some people around who have seen the formats and what not. But also keep in mind that the structure may have changed through the years, what was kept in one format in year X was kept in another format in year Y. You may have to familiarize yourself with how to import into other software, manipulate it with other software, to do sorting/analysis if that is what you are looking to do (while avoiding the possibly tedious manual stuff).
Good luck.

I’ve requested my data once before and it showed up in one big PDF or something. If the data retrieval process is manually processed by employees then I can see why they wouldn’t really bother sorting through each player’s individual data to break it down like an outline document. It’s a lot of information.
Ohh a pdf, well parsing that data (pulling text from pdf) isn’t a ton of fun in my experience. So mostly just stuck with a manual look through I’d guess.
it basically shows chatlog histories, achievements, forum posts, last login locations, lootbox opening, match histories, account penalties, account creation, account transactions, complaint history etc. But it’s a long list.
Would like an organized categories if anyone has it.
No one would be able to send you an organized list, it’s your list.
If you’re looking for something specific, could you just do a Ctrl + F and search the document for it?

You misread. There is categories. I just would like to have a category list. Here is an example of a category list:
Gameplay History
Battle.net Group Chat
New Forum Data - World of Warcraft Forums - en_US
Posts
To make things easier to look up. Have you tried looking at yours?
Ohh so you’re just looking for like an index then of what all the possible categories are?
yes correct.
I’d recommend asking @Idontknowhow on this as they’ve said they ordered such.
what?

Idontknowhow is a character name, in fact they replied to you above.
My guess is you are going to have get out the old pen and paper or a text document and manually do a list of what is there to determine what categories are present.
