    I would like to create a blog about movies with one set of categories for studios (Universal, Fox, Disney, etc.), one for genres (comedy, drama, action, etc.) and another for my rating (good, excellent, bad, etc.). Is it possible in WP to create multiple category groupings? Right now when I create the categories they all show up together either alphabetically or in a numerical order I assign. But the problem is I don't get the headings that describe each group (studios, genre, rating, etc.). For these to show up I have to create them as parent categories but then they show up as hyperlinks in my sidebar, which is not what I want (I don't want visitors to click on the word "studios"... I want them to be able to click on one of the studios listed under that heading). Any ideas or suggestions? Or is what I ask not possible in WP?

    Anything is possible with WordPress. You'll just need to program this into your theme using WP functions.

    You'll probably need to use wp_list_categories()
    See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

    And just create three lists, one for each (studios, genres, and ratings). And for each list, exclude the headings and set a title tag. You'll understand what this means when you look at the documentation.
