Do you want all the articles in the subcategories of the > subcategory as well? and so on. Yes, it should list all the articles in all the subcategories, recursively. The use-case is when I, for example, want to look at *all* computing articles in alphabetical order, so I go to category "computing" and select this suggested option. (I should have made that clear in my original suggestion.) > >Technically I imagine this would be straightforward > > You would be surprised ;) This is actually kind of hard to do (efficiently) > given the way categories are currently stored. Given the above answer, could the recursively collapsed one-level view not be precomputed (say nightly) and then quickly displayed? (it wouldn't matter if it could be slightly out of date, although the kess the better of course). I think it would be worth investigating, as the use case I give above is actually the most common usage of categories for me, and I do think if this option was available then the category system would be more useful, and be used more.
