I looked through the Smarty Code website and figured out how to get mine into two columns, I am sure you can easily do four with some modifications.

Here is the code for Two Columns

<table width=100%>
<TR>
<TD width=100%>
<table border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%>
<TR>
<TD colspan=3><Center><U>Shop by Category</U>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<td align=left valign=top width=50%>
{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories max=4}

<font size=2>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font>


{ if %cat_num.last% }

{/if}
{/section}
</td>
<TD width=1 bgcolor=#B10304></TD>
<td align=left valign=top width=50%>
{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories start=4}

<font size=2>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font>


{/section}
</TD>
</tr>
<TR>
<TD colspan=3 height=1 bgcolor=#B10304></TD>
</TR>
</table>

The Key is this "start=4}" You would put that at each place you would like it to start a new column.

So for example in column one you would have the code with the "max=4}" which means only 4 products per line. on the next column you would put "{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories start=4}" this starts the second column on the fifth product and continues on till the 8th product. On the third line you would put "{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories start=8}" and this would start that line on the 9th product and so on and so on. Though the Key here is the <table> code like in my example, that code is what allows it to show up as 4 columns.

Good Luck, If you need more help let me know.
