    I'd like to build a directory of restaurants but I don't want too many subcategory levels and I'm a bit unsure about how to construct it so so what is the best thing to do?

    home - restaurants - states - type of kitchen
    example:
    home - restaurants - Alabama - Chinese
    home - restaurants - Alabama - Italian
    home - restaurants - Alabama - Greek
    home - restaurants - Florida - Chinese
    etc.

    or:

    home - restaurants - type of kitchen - states
    example:
    home - restaurants - Chinese - Alabama
    home - restaurants - Chinese - Florida
    home - restaurants - Chinese - Georgia
    home - restaurants - Italian - Alabama
    etc.

    Perhaps it makes no difference at all and either way is fine, still, some second optinions would help. Thanks!

    Hello, Reginald.

    I think that is more natural for people to look first for their
    geographical location, and next for the type of food. I mean, they
    will say: "Well, here we are in Alabama. Now, what can we eat?"

    From these people's point of view, the first ordering is better.
