Category Ordering change problem

I just made my categories at the front page, but now I want to make sub-categories.
If you look at my website http://www.vandskishop.dk you see that the categories now is:
"Beginner Skies", "Slalom Skies", "Jump Skies" , etc....

I now want to make the main category "Waterskis" and put the "Beginner Skies", "Slalom Skies", "Jump Skies" like sub-categories.

When I do that, I go to Virtuemart - Product Categories - and change the "Category Ordering" for the 3 categories from "Top Level Category" to "Waterskis".

The funny thing is that when I click on the "Waterskis-category" - it is empty.

If I make a menu "Products" - "Waterskis" (Virtuemart category layout, selected category "Waterskis", it is working from the menu, but not from the icon on the frontpage.

The link is from the menu: http://www.vandskishop.dk/index.php/products/waterskis
And from the icon: http://www.vandskishop.dk/index.php/vir ... /waterskis

I have made a "Demo I" category, as a main category, with a "Demo II" category as sub-category to show you.

Any one have a solution?

Hello,

Your are using a commercial template as i see, do you use the quick installation package i suppose gavick provides or you make a clean joomla, vm installation?

What's your Joomla and VM version?
Production: Joomla 2.5.8 | VM 2.0.14 | PHP 5.3.13
Testing     : Joomla 2.5.8 | VM 2.0.16 | PHP 5.3.8
Testing     : Joomla 2.5.8 |    VM 2.1   | PHP 5.3.8

I used the quick installation, live updated to the newest VM version 2.0.10

Joomla! 2.5.6
VM 2.0.10

I have the question at Gavick's Forum as well and the answer i have so fare is:

"Hi
Sorry. I'm looking at Your website, but nothing comes in mind. Anyway I'm not a VM expert so maby You should ask this question on VM forum ?"

Hello,

Probably you forgot to mention on gavick forum that you have updated vm, because there are template (theme) changes which you can find here: http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=416

But your issue i don't think is related to that, please try to make a clean installation of joomla and vm and then apply gavick template as describe to their template instructions (i believe there will be some instructions).

Usually quickstart's have a lot of issues so always is better to make a clean install of joomla 2.5.7, install VM 2.0.10. VM AIO extensions and them apply gavick template.
You will be able to test also VM without overrides.

Update:
btw, regarding your issue apply all your categories under a joomla menu like you did with demo. Also please try with SEF urls disabled because as i see some of them are not configured properly.

Last get that last update for your template (normally should be updated to version 2.0.10 from your vendor)

Regards.
