k so we should handle this as a feature request than :). i will figure it out 
for the .16 release. we will also need a preferences option to choose selecting 
entries by cat and its subs or exactly by cat.

That's what you said.

I noticed this point because the 'tree' organisation of the categories
made us think that this container/sub-container mode, like inheritance in
object programming, would be used for the same purpose :

If B inherit from A then :
        - B is a A, completely with no restriction
        - if you ask for all A objects, then because B is a A, the B's are 
listed too
(I read my Myers :) )

That's usefull in aan orgisation like :

Customers
        Customers from south
        Customers from North
        Customers from East
        Customers from West
                Little customers from West    These are implicitely 'Customers 
from West' AND 'Customers'
                Big customers from West 
        Etc...

We can handle the present situation by setting a 'Big etc..' ALSO in 'Customers 
from West' and 'Customers' but it is Heavy and less natural.

if you sorted the contact to the subcat it only should show up there, and not 
in the maincat too. is it this what you noticed? if not, could you please 
explain a bit more detailed?
