Can anyone tell me how I can have subcategories that are the same name in
different main categories? Interchange is really getting confused with the way I
am trying to do it. I can't find anything in the documentation.

I have two categories set up:

Hedgehog Items
Prairie Dog Items

Each category must have a subcategory "Food". Now, the main categories are on
the left, no links. The subcategories I used these parameters:

Hedgehog Items "Food":
----------------------
Name: Food
Link Type: Simple Search
Table: Products
Field=Column Pairs: category=HH Food
Results Page: Default
Display Name: Name
(everything else blank)

Prairie Dog Items "Food":
----------------------
Name: Food
Link Type: Simple Search
Table: Products
Field=Column Pairs: category=PD Food
Results Page: Default
Display Name: Name
(everything else blank)

But, Interchange seems to be getting confused between the two "Food" categories.
If you go to:

http://www.sitediva.com/cart

you'll see if you click on either 'Food' you get the same category field=column
pair names, even though I have named each differently, and assigned each to it's
rightful subcategory. I have deleted the subcats three times, and the last one I
create is always the one that shows up on the results page. Someone tried to
help me with this before, but he hasn't gotten back with me.

Thanks for any help, I really need to get this figured out before my client
gives up on me. ;)
