How do I suppress a subcategory from appearing on the category list?

Thanks for the reply!

Note: I’ve invoke the hidden feature that allows for an extra nested category, 3 total vs 2.

Here is an example that might better illustrate the issue:
e.g., Main Page:
Test (Category)

  • Test - Sub 1 (nested Category of Parent Test Category)
    In this scenario,
.category .subcategories {
      display: none;
    }

works fine.

As you can see the nested test - sub 1 category isn’t displayed.

If I add another nested subcategory:
test - sub 2 category, with sub 1 category as it’s parent:

as you can see in the picture above, test - sub 2 is hidden
per the css code, but test - sub 1 is no longer hidden.

The problem is now two fold:
I can hide the test - sub 1 title, setting it’s class to display: none, but it also hides all of the parent categories on the main page.
The 2nd problem, is that even if I could isolate the and hide just the test - sub 1 nested category, the space it occupies is still there and will be problematic, I need to have about 20 more categories on the main page with two nest sub categories each.
Ideally I just want the end user to be able to click on the Test Category and have access to the other nested Categories, etc, which is easily accomplished, via
Show subcategory list above topics in this category.
and setting: sub category list styles to, e.g. boxes, etc.

If at some point I want to position another main page Cateogry after the Test Category, I don’t want 20 rows of blank linefeed, etc.

Thoughts?
