I'm not sure of the best way to solve this and it's not urgent but I want to ask before I do more rewriting than I have to.

This is an category alt page and I show the items in the list using a customfield called fill2column (they are rows now but another custom page uses them as columns)
So before the foreach loop of each grid I have the title i.e. 'Primers' then run the loop, which works fine as long as each grid section has products, but now some of the subcategories I was asked to add like this one http://www.allfrom1supply.com/test-2-step.html have grid items that are empty.
Since the grid title is printed before each foreach loop I'm trying to figure out the best way to hide it if there is no items with the matching field value ie if I check for a value of '1' in fill2column then I would not print it.
I could put the title in the loop and I guess use POS1 in the foreach loop and print it if the value is greater than 0.
I guess I could iterate category_listing:products array one time before the individual grid code, then check if any product has a fill2column value of 1 add it to the array, and check each value so that when I print the titles I would have to read the array ie has_value{1,4,7} and so only print values for grids 1,4 and 7 - I guess with the bonus that this way I could skip the other foreach loops (.e. 2,3,5,6).
Sorry for the lengthy explanation. I'm not exactly a coder and don't want to go running off and waste a lot of time if there is a simpler way I'm not considering.
Thanks.

/* I do this for each of the grid items i.e. grid1 thru grid12 */
