Thanks for your mod Anton

It didn't work for me until I used Jason mod.

		$to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid,$sql_tbl[categories].parentid,
$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid_path,$sql_tbl[categories].category,
$sql_tbl[categories].product_count,$sql_tbl[categories].avail,$sql_tbl[categories].description,$sql_tbl[categories].order_by";
	} else {
		$to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].*";
	}

... for the first "$to_search =" statement above just add ,$sql_tbl[categories].description between the quotes at the end....

On my version, instead of

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

I had

 {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}. 

My subcategories listing is single column.
So I put

{$subcat.description|escape}

instead of

{ $categories[cat_num].description|escape } 

and its working fine now.
