The order of products in both categories will be:
A (Main) category: product A + product B + product C + product D + product E + product F
B (Sub) category: product D + product E + product F
When unassign a sub-category, the products will be go back to the original order as below:

D.Third layer categories
Merchant may use this feature when the storefront theme setting is Ultra Chic、Kingsman、Doris Bien、Bianco、Sangria、Skya、Varm、Philia、Dusk .
Please be reminded that switching into other themes other than Ultra Chic will hidden the layouts of the third layer categories in storefront.
Example
(Layouts of the categories with the same setting in admin panel for theme Basic)
(Layouts of the categories with the same setting in admin panel for theme Ultra Chic)
While setting "Parenting" as first layer and "Diapers" as second layer, the third layer categories may have different layouts among different themes. We currently support the layout of third layer categories in theme Ultra Chic only. When switching the themes that are not supporting the third layer layouts, settings in admin panel will remain and be shown again while the theme switched to those are supported.
