If I remember right, the categories and subcategories in news modules work like real filters. Therfore the category does not display the articles of the subcategories.

I would like the news to be displayed in a hierarchical way, so that a 'mother category' not only shows its directly assigned articles, but also all article belonging to the 'child subcategories' (yes, just like a 'family picture'.

It would be nice for people to have full information of all child-subcategories already while digging deeper through the parent categories. I dont want to miss any interesting articles hidden in a container on third level, I would also like to see the article on second level already. So every article not only belongs to its container, but also to all of the parent categories 'above'.

Is this already a feature of one of the news module hacks? Can anybody outline how to solve this?
