  6. For example, place Category 11 below Category 1.

  7. With the child category selected, click the Demote one level button.
  8. The subcategory appears in a tree as a node below its parent. The tree can be expanded and collapsed.

  10. For example, place Category 12 and Category 13 below Category 1.

  11. Select each category in turn and click the Demote one level button.
  12. The subcategories are placed in the tree below the other subcategory. The Sequence field can be used to display the subcategories in the correct order on the Categories page and on the Web site.

  13. Use the buttons as necessary to extend the catalog hierarchy.
  14. For example, Category 12 can be made a subcategory of Category 11.

    Subcategories are displayed under categories on the Web site in ascending order by sequence and then in alphabetical order by display name.
