That way, it will force the menu item alias for all the brands to be the same value.

I can change it to the menu item ID, but what about other categories eg. MEN then i will show the worng category. I have made some tests it is only the fist item in each load, tried to disable the Infinite scroll and now it only the fist one, and not the fist and the last one, however i you go to the next page it again the first one. Have also tried to dis an enabled products and brands with no change. have also tried to disable the menu item (Alias: hikashop-menu-for-module-342) and then i works, but then the links in module id 342 did worked. But I can see that the first entry in module 342 and the first entry in the menu "women" are the same. Module 342 is used to display brand images in a carousel. But here's the only the fist one that has the wrong link. Menu item for category listing module 342 is set "Brands" as category Then i tried to change the ordering in the menu item "Women" but no change still the fist post on each page there have the worng link. Hope this information give a clue of a path for a solution.

Indeed, in that case it will always be women. In that case, you can write more complex code to change the id based on the category you're in. 2. We the code you're using, you're basically asking HikaShop to pick a HikaShop menu item randomly for the Itemid parameter. So the first one it finds is "hikashop-menu-for-module-342". If you deactivate it, it will pick another one. The best however is to create a specific menu item listing categories with the "main category" being the main brand entry under which all the brands are in your shop. That way, that menu item will be taken in priority over other random menu items of HikaShop. And the alias will always be the one of that menu item. That's the best I think. 3. If the links of your module don't work after disabling that menu item, it simply means that this menu item is selected in the "menu item" setting of the module. So pick another one there. 4. You can also fill in the canonical URL of the brands and activate the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting to "use canonical if specified" in the HikaShop configuration so that it will use the URL you want, regardless of how you configured your menu items and modules.
