Nesting Collection Lists

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum.

There are two approaches for nesting lists here;

MULTI-REF FIELD

I personally don't recommend this one at all, but, some like it.

You can add a multi-ref field in your Categories table that links to the Blog Posts in it.

- Advantage - you can use Webflow's nested Collection Lists feature directly

- Disadvantages - you're limited to 5 nested items, you cannot sort or filter them, and multiref fields are difficult to manage in the CMS admin console.

SCRIPT-SOLUTION

Generate your Categories list and your Post list separately, and use script to reorganize them up on screen. I do this a lot for clients, so [message](https://www.sygnal.com/webflow) if you'd like help building it.

- Advantage - easy administration, can do more than 100 nested items on the page, can sort how you like, works with dynamic filtering.

- Disadvantage - requires some code, or a 3rd party toolset.

Have a look at Finsweet's CMS Nest feature as well, you may be able to make that work well for what you're doing.
