Hi Gliders, I’m sure this has been touched on before but I can’t seem to find the solution. I have an catalog/store app i’m working on and have categories and sub-categories for each product. I have the category style setup fine (// images attached) but I would like when you click on the category the sub categories could be sorted and scrolled horizontally (for the moment I get everything in one big section that would make no sense in scrolling horizontally //images attached) and even be able to go to another level of search inside certain sub categories (just like the top level category section). I will attach images of what i am talking about, Thanks for your help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/e882e27cefafc3c736a8f01741cb0ff7f0c52a8d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/04f80f10f40d0521b605106cdd07059d4fef06ef.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/cd964d89f86ad8fe886425e2de61da02343e9798.jpeg) Copy of current spreadsheet [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D8W9DBlJOF1aEmdjcD1XyxGk74cd-qpWuMX0qV9ukWk/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D8W9DBlJOF1aEmdjcD1XyxGk74cd-qpWuMX0qV9ukWk/edit?usp=sharing) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/d/da2df310b8e488cc7a1a9502a5cae30c73f4b5d5.png) Link to glideapp: [https://tecmall-ec.glideapp.io/](https://tecmall-ec.glideapp.io/) ---

I have seen this but how would I go about this in my current situation, do I make multiple sub category columns for each category row or make two columns with all the categories and sub categories listed side by side? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/a8ecd9b85901ad32c8e748dbf2e27d635907bc87.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/cd20fa37727c6ba53e9ba9bec9cd6d74765c7c5d.png) I cant seem to get this right thanks for any help… ---

You make multiple rows for that, for example: | Category | Sub-category | | --- | --- | | Case, Fuentes de Poder, Cables | Case | | Case, Fuentes de Poder, Cables | Cable | | Case, Fuentes de Poder, Cables | Fuente | | Case, Fuentes de Poder, Cables | Hub | ---

I have done this in a new sheet like the example here, but I make a relation to my product sheet and it does not make seperate sections that I can make independant. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/a8ecd9b85901ad32c8e748dbf2e27d635907bc87.png) I think I am confusing the relations or maybe not putting this in the right sheet ---

What is your current relation settings? ---

Seems like you’re setting the right relations. What do you mean: > [@Tecmall](#): > > neither one is letting me sort items through sub categories Is it not showing the right way on your screen? Are you using a details view or a link to screen view? ---

I got it with the other method, using this method ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/cd20fa37727c6ba53e9ba9bec9cd6d74765c7c5d.png) Using this relation. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/b/b264193d442de8fbeab9bab7239df2946acee1fa.png) And filtering with the subcategory rows ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7dbfcb6318bf0fde03f1fa44a1d70a9f4f030ccf.jpeg) ---

That’s not really scalable. You can choose “Link to screen” and set the relation to be your value from your original way, if I understand it right. ---

Can you elaborate a bit on this I dont know what is Link to screen and what the cababilities would be for this? ---

Let’s say I have categorie, sub-categories and items like you. In the first screen for categories I set it up like this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/fd3cf338bc0f88dfef9076b5f81a89eb79e77e7f.jpeg) In the second screen for sub-categories I set it up like this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/93d6bdc78f9c29f2ea9d4253c033ef54635f9dc9.jpeg) The sub-categories and items will automatically follow their “parent” category & sub-category via the relation.
