the the bottom i have 2 of the lists but it is listing a ton at the top in single large form.
<h2>SOUTHWEST CAPE CORAL</h2>
[listings taxonomy="locations" term="swcape" columns="3"]
<h2>NORTHWEST CAPE CORAL</h3>
[listings taxonomy="locations" term="nw-cape-coral" columns="3"]
<h2>SOUTHEAST CAPE CORAL</h3>
[listings taxonomy="locations" term="se-cape-coral" columns="3"]
that shortcode combination should do what you said but it is not.
