Not possible atm, and I don’t believe there is theme component/plugin that does this. There is Discourse Indented Subcategories , but those don’t collapse afaik. If you really want it, you’ll have to make your own or post in Marketplace if you have a budget for it.

Ooh I had misunderstood your question. Glad you got it sorted regardless!
