I’m currently trying to figure out if there is any way to have categories and sub-categories behave differently in terms of sort order. We’re using /categories as our home page and due to the nature of our products, certain categories are likely to have hundreds of sub-categories. I’ve managed to limit the number of sub-categories shown on the main category page using CSS but I’d like for these sub-categories in the “Rolling stock products” category (say Top 5 or 10) to be ordered by latest activity whilst keeping the higher level category order intact. [categoryorder] Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

[imagem] Tom_Newhouse: certain categories are likely to have hundreds of sub-categories. We don’t recommend using that number of categories. [imagem] What's the maximum number of categories we can have? Development 500 to 1000 is safe If you need more consider tags Additionally you can have a very large number of groups

It’s well within the limits that Sam mentioned in his post. Is there an actual solution to the question at hand though?

You will need a custom theme-component to get that behavior. Developer’s guide to Discourse Themes
