You can use the orderby function to solve your issue. Use an {if} statement like this to only show categories with an orderby under 500:

{if $categories[cat_num].order_by < 500}

This would go in customer/categories.tpl

does this work for 4.1.7

Nevermind, I think,

here is my new categories.tpl code and this seems to be working......

{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}

<div class="categories">

{if $c.order_by < 500}
<a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}">{$c.category}< /a>
{/if}{/foreach}
