I see what your saying, however I need an ABC system in each category.
So
Perennials > ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Shrubs > ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Vegetable Plants > ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Fruit Trees > ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Trees > ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
They have to be sub categories of each product due to the way they're being entered.
I've resorted to editing the code in category_row.php as this places the categories on each page and the ABC categories don't need an image.
This is where I'm at with the code -
<?php
/**
* index category_row.php
*
* Prepares the content for displaying a category's sub-category listing in grid format.
* Once the data is prepared, it calls the standard tpl_list_box_content template for display.

My plan is to use CSS to force the <li> tags I've added to display inline. However, there is a problem I'm struggling to work around and thats the fact that there's a <br class="clearBoth" /> in the code. I think this is coming from tpl_columnar_display.php but I can't edit this as this will affect other files associated with it.
So my thoughts are to put a CSS around the code OR a table with CSS in it to eliminate the <br class="clearBoth" /> tag and force the <li> tags to display inline.
What do you think?
