So I'm experimenting with the classic theme and filters pro for an auto parts website. I have my filter setup this way, Manufacturer -> Model -> SubModel -> Year where model, submodel and year are specifications. This works great so far but I foresee the result page growing out of hand.For example there are hundreds parts for Honda -> Civic -> Si -> 2013, so is there a way to group the results into there categories? 


I currently have less the ten parts in the database so I am not sure if this will happen when I have more parts in the database.

This is an old question but I just run into the same problem and the way am solving it is by adding unique specifications. So instead of having one Air Filter with these specifications "Impreza, Forester, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010" add two air filters one for Impreza with these specifications "2004, 2005,2006,2007,2008" and another air filter for forester with these specifications "2006,2007,2008,2009,2010". This is somewhat tedious but it allows me to keep my year specification clean instead of doing something like "Impreza(2004-2008)" which is very restricting IMHO.

I am still experienting nop and noptemplates so this suggestion might have some other limitations I'm not aware off, please let me know if that's the case.
