Nathan,
If I understand your needs correctly, perhaps the latest version of Noteliner is worth a try. Version 3.2n has a collapsible navigation pane. In my opinion it is, in other respects, a fine outliner and the developer is diligent and approachable. And it is free.

>If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to organize a collection of smaller outlines, each of which can be stored in categories. Essentially an outline of outlines. If this is the case, I think your options are limited, but there are options.
Yes, that is a good summary of what I am looking for. I will give noteliner a closer look.
Also, I found the outliner I mentioned from a Google search results list, it came up again on a different search. It’s called Splash Notes. Looks ok, nothing overly impressive though. It has a navigation pane where you can have a list of outlines.

If Splash Notes is in the right direction, I suggest you try out ListPro http://www.iliumsoft.com/listpro/windows/screenshots which I think is considerably more powerful.

If you like Splash Notes than you might also like Natara Bonsai (desktop edition). I opted for that over Splash Notes 5 or 6 years ago, when I was looking for an outliner. Bonsai just had more powerful features. You can choose to have a pane on the left that displays all the existing outlines. There are also tabs on the bottom that allow you to switch between open outlines (plus there is another optional pane for notes and some other useful features that can be turned on and off). I’ve extolled the virtues of Bonsai on this forum a few times, so if you do a search you’ll probably find some details about it here.
