Category Listing

Displays a category listing. The category listing plug-in allows total control of the number of columns, the number rows, and the ordering of categories. The category listing plug-in provides a listing of sub-categories for a specific category. For each sub-category, you can also embed the sub-category’s sub-categories. The plug-in allows you to control the header and footer, row header and footers, and second level category templates. You can also specify the number of rows and columns for both the first level and second level listing item templates. Sorting options of the category listing is also available.

Note: This plug-in is only used for category listings. Do not use it for left navigation, top navigation, right navigation, or any navigation other than categories listed on the category listing page. It doesn't meet all the requirements of the Category Navigation plug-in (if a Category Listing plug-in is implemented with a similar purpose of the Category Navigation, the Category Navigation plug-in instance needs to be integrated instead of the Category Listing plug-in).
