    Hello,
    I’m wondering how to do it with one shortcut to display all my 5 categories each with a category title and only one search box on top of the page and no category select box. Additionally I want to have the entries in the categories ordered in different ways.
    For now I did it with different separated shortcuts for each category and in the first shortcut I call the search box (which looks not so good). The category title is formatted as usual on normal pages.

    Question: Is there a smart way to do it (like in the sample pic) all in one shortcut?

    I think what you’re to do is grouping by category which Connections does not currently support.

    The only option would be to use the shortcode on the same page, once for each category. The problem with that is each instance of the shortcode will be affected by the search which would give “weird” end user experience.

    Sorry, but I can not think of a way to do what you want. The only recommendation I would make is to remove search completely.

    Hello Steven,
    thx for quick response, you pointed it out, but is there probably another option to do grouping if not by category?
    If not, can I wait for that option to come into next the time?
