    Default Can similar subcategories of different Categories be grouped and displayed together?

    example:
    Jewelry designer makes several Collections. Each collection has a number of rings, a number of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.
    In Zen-Cart, each Collection would be a Category.

    I want to display a grouping of ALL the necklaces from ALL the Categories together.
    To do this, should each product be a 'linked' to a new Category called 'Necklaces' which contains all the necklaces from all the Categories similarly linked, OR is it possible/better to create subcategories under each Collections Category such that each Collection would have its own Necklaces subcategory, and these Necklace subcategories link together to display ALL the necklaces in the entire store?

    I apologize in advance for being unable to find an example of this in the forum, and for the complex explanation for such a simple thing!

    I would link the similar items into the same category. I don't believe there's a way to link sub-categories.
