I have finally implemented this on my site. So you can see an example of what you can do with this simple mod there. (

Here's the exact code for on my site (notice the part set off in the middle is the new part):
Code:
if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 0}
{$lng.lbl_heading1}
{elseif $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 80}
{$lng.lbl_heading2}
{elseif $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 90}
{$lng.lbl_heading3}
{elseif $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 150}
{$lng.lbl_heading4}
{/if}
<font class=CategoriesList>
{$categories[cat_num].category_name}</font>
{/section}
