  Hi @Ashleigh Rentz, did you update something into your category_page.hbs file for this nice functionality?

  Thanks

  Hi Ifra Saqlain — This works with plain Copenhagen, no changes needed.  :)  I used a little CSS to put things on a single row just so the screenshot wouldn't be huge, but otherwise this is all from the JavaScript.

  @Ashleigh Rentz, it's working perfectly, I tried it again  into fresh Copenhagen Theme and working as expected :)

  It's really cool !
