Right, unfortunately there’s not a simple way to do this using CSS without also restructuring the layout.

The Horizon theme currently makes the entire `.list-controls` container sticky, which includes the category header. We can’t make the child `.navigation-container` sticky on its own, because sticky elements are stuck within their parent scrolling context.

We _could_ restructure this area, but it’s one of those changes that would impact all the themes that style using the existing structure… so there’s a good chance of regression for other themes and customizations, even if they don’t have a sticky nav like this.
