Please show us the whole route config, because the order in which you define your routes is important. — Marco

You can use Attribute routing. In case of using attribute routing,you need to allow attribute routing to map your routes by adding following line in RouteConfig.cs

  routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

And then you can specify your route what you want. no matter what your action name is.

    [Route("Categories")]
    public ActionResult GetCategories() 
    {
         return View();
    }
