How can I change the category feature in Thinkific to show the courses at the top of the page?

The problem I'm having is that my students are clicking a category tile and being directed to the category links instead of the courses in the category (which are under all of the category links). I have 30 categories and 300 courses, so there are a lot of category links. Students click the category tile and see the links and not the courses and end up going back and forth between the category tiles and the category links looking for the courses (the courses are under the category links but the students are not realizing this and a lot of my students just click off). The category links should be under the actual courses in the category. In other words, the students are clicking the category tile expecting to see the courses--not the links--and so the courses should be at the top of the page and the links at the bottom of the page. With the links at the bottom of the page, if the student clicks a category tile and sees the courses and then wants to click another category, the links are accessible at the bottom of the page so the student doesn't have to go back to the home page. How can I manually change this?

There's an option to reorder the courses, so they show up as you need them to; you can also move courses across categories and add them to "All Courses" or remove them from this one if that helps. I don't get what links you're talking about, as I am not aware of how you set up your landing pages and courses availability. You could also check how your home page and change the settings for that maybe, so instead of seeing the links, they would see the blocks for each course, which would allow them to click directly to the specific course link, not the category of it. Hope it helps...

Let me clarify. I have all categories on the Home page (26 categories). Thinkific is set up so that when the student clicks the category to see the courses, the first thing that the student sees upon clicking is the 26 links to all categories. The student must scroll down to see the courses. Thinkific has told me that it is a default setting and cannot be changed. If you go to my site NCOei.Thinkific, and you click a category, you will be directed to all category links and "if" you scroll down, you will see the courses in that category. That is a design flaw if it is a default setting. The first thing that a student SHOULD see are the courses and all category links should be under the courses at the bottom of the page, not the top. I was told it can be changed by a designer...
