How to split the category side module?
 

Let say I am selling Gear, Clothing and Footwear. I don't want putting all together in one Category side module (Front-End).

I would like to split the Category and making 3 Category side modules: Gear, Clothing and Footwear. Every modules has a lot of Categories.

Is it a way to do that changing the front-end of the store?

You could use the Position field to split them.
First sort the categories into 3 groups, each group within a certain range of positions - e.g all Gear below 300.
Then you can use something like:
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by < 300} to show just those categories.
