Dashboard -> Presentation -> Sidebar Widgets.

If you're not using widgets, then you're stuck with however the theme designer created their theme.

I just copied and pasted right from the category widget and created an index page.

@BBB
I looked at your page source info and there is a difference between what is in your category widget and what's on my index page (copied from my widget). I have a class="children" designation which sets up the hierarchy and you don't. You just have a straight list even though I see you have created subcategories. I have no clue how you can fix this or if someone "behind the scenes" needs to take a look.

@burmablog
Perhaps this is something you can check. Look at the page source and see if you have class="children" in the code for your category list.

Hope this helps.

FYI for those reading: I view page source in Firefox by right-clicking and choosing "View Page Source".

Not that it would make me switch themes, I use Regulus and it doesn't differentiate the sub-categories, but it's only a minor irritant for me.

I saw some similar posts, but none asking this exact question, so I'm decided to try and hope for an "it's possible" answer...

I'd like my side bar to show subcategories under categories, not to have them all alphabetized together. For example:

Baseball
-Red Sox
-Tigers
-White Sox
Football
-Broncos
-Jets
-Patriots

Instead of (what it currently shows):

Baseball
Broncos
Football
Jets
Patriots
Red Sox
Tigars
White Sox

I've tried several different themes and I can't find one that does this. Is there a way I can change the sidebar widget? Or is there a theme that takes advantage of the categories and subcategories organization?

Thanks.
