I don’t want to bump a thread but I have found one work-around:

{if segment_2}
      {exp:weblog:category_heading weblog="{my_weblog}"}
        <h2>Library: {category_name}</h2>

<p>        {if category_name == "Handbook and Policies"} </p>

<p>        {exp:query sql="SELECT cat_id, cat_name, cat_url_title  FROM exp_categories WHERE parent_id = ' {category_id}' ORDER BY cat_order ASC"}<br />
          </p><h3>{cat_name}</h3>
<p>          <ul class="category_list"><br />
          {exp:weblog:entries  weblog="{my_weblog}"  orderby="title" sort="asc"  category="{cat_id}"}<br />
          <li><a href="http://{library_file}">{title}</a></li><br />
          {/exp:weblog:entries}<br />
          </ul><br />
        {/exp:query}   </p>

<p>        {if:else} <br />
          <ul class="category_list"><br />
          {exp:weblog:entries  weblog="{my_weblog}"  orderby="title" sort="asc"  category="{category_id}"}<br />
          <li><a href="http://">{title}</a></li><br />
          {/exp:weblog:entries}<br />
          </ul><br />
        {/if} </p>

<p>      {/exp:weblog:category_heading}<br />
  {/if}

What I was hoping is that someone might have a more elegant solution. The problem with the above is that I will have to stop the client from being able to add categories. They probably wont need to anyway but it would be nice to allow that option.

Thanks,
Darren.
