List the number of parts in each category in the category list

I'm sure you know the JLC catalog is poorly organized and has many types of parts that are split into multiple categories for no reason. Often times there will be several categories with only a handful of parts, and it takes some time to find the correct category with most of the parts.
One option is that jlcparts could merge duplicate categories internally, but then the categories wouldn't match up between jlcparts and the JLC PCB website.
But another option that would save a lot of time would be including the number of parts in each category in the category list, like the JLC PCB website does. I often times find myself doing this manually in jlcparts by selecting a category, scrolling down and checking how many matching components there are, and scrolling back up to check the next category.
