Two column sublists

[george]

Smart Theme.

Arrangement of sub-section list.

Example.

Woggles A
Woggles B
Woggles C
Woggles D
etc


If you make it a two column list, Actinic makes them like this...

Woggles A Woggles B
Woggles C Woggles D

I'd like them like this...

Woggles A Woggles C
Woggles B Woddles D

Obviously you can rearrange them to work in this way by `cheating` the order they are listed in the subsection list, but is there a `proper` method. I'm sure I've done it before. Also possibly need to make the column lists different lengths, which may result in the second column having more categories.


Please give (advice) generously.

I'm sure I've done it before.

Was that the day after Scotland won the World Cup?

The standard layout flows the sections horizontally and then vertically to occupy the table <tr> structure. You could get very crafty (read stressful) with some CSS layout to create a 2 column affair that "fills" the 1st column to a certain number (height) and then overflows into the 2nd column

the day after Scotland won the World Cup
1966 wasn't it - England and Germany in the 1st Final, England beat Germany to bring the trophy to the United Kingdom then Scotland beat England in the home decider (their very next game).

Back on topic - I just came across a CSS tutorial on doing just that - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists

This CSS is all a bit scarey to me. :(

Anyway, decided to juggle the listed order in the catalog so it looks the way I wanted to but... sadly... the previous and next links go haywire... should have seen that one coming... *rolls eyes*... anyway, just thought I'd mention that, just incase anyone else has the same erm, bright idea. Well I didn't think it was much of an `ask` myself.

*thinks again*
