The filter system adds its filters to the current elements and doesn't have the capability to redirect to different menu items or change the current category based on what is selected in the filters, even if the filter is based on categories. If you want a filter on the categories on the left sidebar that works like you want, then you could achieve it with a HikaShop content module configured to display a listing of your categories.

But in this this way we're not able to use the filter-function for what i can see? This will only filter products from within a category. So if we want to make it possible - this will be an overall filter, where we can place the custom fields for further filtration within this? Like: 1. HikaShop content module configured: Mountainbikes 1.2 Custom filter 1 (Brand) 1.2 Custom filter 2 (Gears) 1.3 Custom filter 3 (Bike size) (Same URL structure) And then i press press on: 2. HikaShop content module configured: Racing bikes (It will get the new URL for this category) and then i place: 2.1 Custom filter 1 2.2 Custom Filter 2 2.3 Custom filter 3 Is this the way to do it? Addtional question: Isn't it possible to have multi-filter-selection on the categories?
