 * Hey
 * Hoping someone can help. I added the product by category list block and the layout
   has gone a bit odd, despite it looking good in the preview, any ideas what’s 
   wrong?
 * Also I don’t really see the value in the two dropdown “Default Sorting” boxes,
   can I just remove those?
 * Thanks
 * Using the Storefront Theme Version: 2.5.6
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcategory-layout-default-sorting-dropdown%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * That does look a tad odd indeed! Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing
   on the admin side?
 * As for the sorting section, you can definitely hide that using the following 
   custom CSS under **Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS** :
 *     ```
       .home .storefront-sorting {
           display: none;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks RK
 * Here’s an image of what appears to be a nicely laid out category block, but as
   you can see that’s not happening on the live page….?

 * Aaaah, thanks for that screenshot – Now I see what you mean. It looks like additional
   markup is being added to the front-end version that’s not visible in the block.
 * To mimic the same layout, you could use the following custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .wc-block-product-categories-list li {
           text-align: left
       }
   
       .wc-block-product-categories-list li br {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
