I have a vocabulary set up as follows:

-Category 1
--Subcategory 1.1
--Subcategory 1.2
-Category 2
--Subcategory 2.1
--Subcategory 2.2

I have a content type linked to this vocabulary. The content type has a field "position" that I hope to use to position these contents.

The first vocab level determines which page the content will appear on. So all content in Category 1 or one of its children will appear on a page "Category 1 List."

The content is then grouped according to its subcategory (ie its actually taxonomy tid).

Now I have two problems-
First, I can sort the content within each subcategory, but I cannot seem to position the groups themselves.
Second, some content doesn't have a subcategory, and is just a parent of "Category 1." Some of these items should appear before other groups, some should appear after (ie they should act as though they are NOT grouped).

If I can fix the first problem, I could implement a workaround for the second. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would suggest using the Hierarchical Select module. You can enable it for the vocabulary or use the content taxonomy field and apply it to that.

It will handle terms without children and you can set it up so it save the linage when selecting terms lower in the hierarchy.

That certainly made selecting the appropriate categories easier, but it didn't actually change any of my display or select options for the View.
