Quick Category Layout Question

[VBE-1]

Currently I have easypopulate installed and have about 50 different categories on my left hand navigation column. What is the best way to condense this and is this a good idea? Lets say I have like 10-20 different categories types of products specific to Hunting. Does it make sense to make these sub-categories under a broad category called Hunting and will the sub categories still show up if I want them to on the left nav bar or will the word Hunting only show up?

50 main categories is a lot, and it probably makes sense to organize them under several top categories like Hunting. The stock categories menu will only show the top categories, plus the tree of whatever categories you are looking at, so you would need an expanded categories mod if you wanted them still visible. Categories Dressing is one that has the "expanded" option along with many other things.

Alternatively, CD will let you keep all the categories in the top, group them in whatever order you like and add headings above groups so people can find the specialty they want faster.

Okay I will look into that.
