Finally figured it out thanks to your second link. The person that posted it thanked the person for his original source code which happens to be located here buried 2 years ago. For feature reference for anyone this is the link to it:

Thanks for the link! I will look through these and see if I can figure it out. Thanks a ton for all your help.

Well kind of, I am using two columns at the moment that are centered in the page. Everything is working with the name, post numbers, etc .. and on other pages the child categories also. It’s just the column sorting that’s giving me a giant headache.

Hello vjpo,

Thanks for the reply, basically i’m trying to format the columns so it doesn’t go left to right, left to right as the example

1 2
3 4
5 6

I am trying to achieve it to become a vertical column that would be

1 4
2 5
3 6

the numbers represent each category.

On the code you gave me it currently achieves the samething. I have the columns I just need them to be sorted the correct way. Using your method though it listed all the categories if I were to use that where would I say define a child and parent and the ID?

Anyone have any suggestions? =\

Well I figured out why the pagination ( load more ) wont show up on the bottom of the past pages! Biggest issue right now is the repeating posts when you do press it.
