I'm not too familiar with Magento, but i've done a lot with code before and modifying themes and plugins in Wordpress ... but i'm out of idea's on this one.
I'm want to get the block that display's the Categories on the top of its sidebar (right sidebar) indicated by the red border around the element with the arrow pointing to the position i want to place it to.
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated.
