    Hi,

    I have approx. 2000 channel entries that need sorting into provinces, regions, areas and towns in a country (about 800 categories). Each entry is also associated with other category groups.

    What is the best way to do this?  I am worried that performance might be an issue. and the Expression engine category page in the CP is going to be super long :(

    Does anyone know if the solspace tags module would work well for this?  or if there’s a better alternative?

    What about breaking it down into channels based on the biggest category? Maybe each province gets its own channel and category group?
    Perhaps categories along with custom fields if the data won’t change?
