When creating a new menu item, select the Akeeba Release System menu type. In the expanded layout tree you can select one of the following options:

BleedingEdge releases
It only shows the BleedingEdge categories, most commonly used to serve developer releases / nightly builds.

Normal releases
It only shows the categories of the "Normal" type.

Entire repository
Shows both kinds of categories.

You have the following Parameters (Basic):

Categories grouping
Set to Normal first in order to show categories of the Normal type on top. Set to None to show all categories based on the ordering you specify below.

Category ordering
Choose the ordering you'd like to apply to the categories listing

Releases ordering
When a user clicks on a category, it defines the ordering to be applied to the release of that category

Items ordering
When a user clicks on a release, it defines the ordering to be applied to the items of that release

In the Parameters Advanced you have the following options:

Show pagination
Should we show the pagination (links to the individual pages) on the bottom of the page?

Pagination results
Should we show the pagination results (page X of Y) on the bottom of the page?
