Outlook Categories Not Appearing in Drop Down Menu
This is the issue with Outlook categories drop down menu(in the picture). Problem is that not all categories are appearing. I'm assuming that drop down has a fix number of categories that it can display. I have 5 more categories that are not appearing in the drop down menu. I can select all categories and assign category to random mail and then that category will appear in drop down menu, but after some time it will be gone from it. Also I'm able to type category:"category name" is search box and it will find it and display mails with that category.
I would like for all categories to appear in drop down menu. Is there any way that you can change the number of items in it(to increase it).

This can be by design that only 15 categories display in the drop-down menu based on my test on both Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2013. As far as I know, currently, there is no such a built-in option in Outlook to change this.
Mentioned in this article: Under section: FAQ: Color Categories
When you expand the Categories button, the flyout is ordered by the most recently used categories. If you click All Categories to open the Color Categories dialog, the list should be alphabetical.
