I have looked through the forums and played around until I am blue in the face, but still cannot find a resolve to my issues. I am new to Drupal so please bare with me.
I have a block (products category list) that I want displayed through my store. It is already showing but I have a few issues with how it displays.
Please look at this image:

1. My first problem is that it is not in alphabetic order which is how I want it to display.
2. The second problem I have is that the Shop or home category is displayed as: <No value>. I would love to just hide this.
When you go to an interior page of my site I have another problem. Please look at this image:

#3. For some reason it has multiple page links below (that look sloppy). If you click on any of these links the same exact menu that is showing now shows. These links are useless and clutter up this menu.
This is what my views menu looks like:

When I try and sort via title ascending to get this list alpabetical nothing happens. I only want the categories to show not the individual products (which is what I have showing now). I have played around in this screen until I am blue in the face and I cannot sort alphabetically, I cannot remove the empty tag from the menu, and I cannot remove the useless links on the interior pages. Any ideas please?

Can you please tell us what
Can you please tell us what exactly are your categories (taxonomy terms, nodes of a certain content type)? I ask because in the Fields section you don't have any fields but you try to sort by the content "Catalog category".
Plus, I see that you are using a pager but you page by 0 items and this is really weird.
Yeah I really don't know what
Yeah I really don't know what I am doing here. There was something in the fields area but it's gone now. Either way the person who set this up had the same issues in that it was not alphabetical and it did not show all the categories. I tried playing with this page but nothing sorted properly.
Here is the taxonomy information you requested.
Administration>Taxanomy I see three terms:
a. Glass
b. Item
c. Tags
Glass and Tags have no terms listed. But under the Item "list terms" and also found in this area: Structure>Taxonomy>Terms I have all these terms:
Accessories
Antiques
Apparel
Bedroom
Cabinets
Candle Sticks
Candlesticks
Chairs
Clothing
Couch
Decorative Collectible
Dining Room
Dressers
EBay
Figurines and Sculptures
Fine China
Floor Coverings
Furs
Glass
Handbags
Jewelry
Lamp
Lighting
Majolica
Metalware
Mirrors
Office
Pottery
Rugs
Shoes
Sofa
Table
Wall Art
Wallets & Wristlets
I would like to display all of this list above assuming the category has a product. My current menu shows 19 but this menu shows 34. Could be because some categories do not have products which I would be glad to hide. But then again it could be a setting in my fields menu (I just don't know).
If need be I will be glad to provide additional snapshots views to help resolve these issues.
Ok, you can try to create
Ok, you can try to create another view from scratch selecting Taxonomy terms at the label Show and type Item, Then you will be able to add the sort criteria, in this case you will have to select Taxonomy term: name (or weight if you want to re-order manually from the taxonomy administration section) and discard the paging option.
Excellent! I didn't know you
Excellent! I didn't know you could add the block and/or a page right in the view creation. This works great and I was able to hide the old menu. I learned a lot about views and blocks just now.
Is is possible to hide any of the Taxonomy terms (items) that have a 0 count of products showing? I would like to hide all categories that currently do not have products.
Yes you can do it adding the

Got it. I did have duplicate terms so I did have to select Distinct in the query options. This views menu offers advance functionality which means it is somewhat difficult to use. But I do appreciate the functionality so I will take that trade off every time. My menu now looks great. I appreciate your time and effort!
