I’ve got some categories configured so that the Default List Filter `no subcategories`, and this works great for most links to the categories.

However, the #sidebar sends the user to `/c/category-slug/catID/l/latest`. This url forces a vanila ‘Latest’ view, which isn’t what I want.

It would make sense to me to instead send the user to `/c/category-slug/catID` so that Category Appearance configuration is respected.
