I just want to create a menu which has
Shop > listing > listing sections
Shop > Listing 2 > listing sections (2)

What would the best way be to do this?
the only way I can think of would be to do the following?
Manually creating my menu giving me flexibility to name my submenu headers and link them to the shop categories as I only need level 3 because ‘Shop’ is classed as level 1? If I remove ‘Shop’ it would work? It’s just I’d have to manually create my links to my pages? – But then I wouldnt have an overall ‘Shop’ page to list all my products on one page.

But if I created a new information page with a default of ‘Shop’ would that list all my products? Then linking it the top menu header?

   <li id="custom_menu_id">
    
    <a href="<?php echo $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=66'); ?>">Shop</a>
  <a href="#" onclick="return false; "><?php echo $tbData->text_menu_information; ?></a>

    <div class="s_submenu">
      
      <div class="s_menu_group">
        <h3>Shop</h3>
        <ul class="s_list_1 clearfix">
     
          <li> <a href="<?php echo $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=66_65'); ?>">Bathroom</a></li>
          <?php if ($tbData->common['returns_enabled']): ?>
          <?php endif; ?>
         <li> <a href="<?php echo $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=66_65'); ?>"> Kitchen</a></li>
          
        </ul>
     

    </div>
  <li>

My only concern in purchasing a module is the reason why I want it to work like this is because the categories on the right hand side displays the different categories. And all the extensions look like they do the Menu not the side bar?
