Product Category in Tryton is mainly done for accounting purpose. If you need more categories tree, it is better to create a new tree structure for it. But maybe we could have in base a "category" like the one on party (and probably rename the current one as accounting category/group). > An add-on, related: > I noted that in the Product Categories section, I can sort only by Name in > the left-hand column showing the ends of each branch of the category tree. Yeps, it is not possible right now to do better.

Thanks a lot, No, it is not because it is not possible right now. -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
