As you may be awate, the Category List (menu item type) lists the articles in a particular category. That being said, Yes, you could add a new title to the Category List.

Adding a new title to the Category LIst means/involves adding a new article to that category.

Also, I would suggest checking what values are chosen for the options Category Order, Article Order, and Date of Ordering in the tab List Layouts of the corresponding menu item.

The position of the Title of the new article would depend on the above mentioned option values. As you want to position the new title in a particular place, depending upon the values of the above mentioned options.

Note:
Most likely in this scenario, I would guess that the option Article Order would have the value "Article Order". If this is the case, you have to move the article to the appropriate place in the screen Articles after choosing the value Ordering Ascending for the option/field Sort Table by:

Sorry. I was not clear at all.

I want to add a subcategory title to break this list up.

Got it.

Could you please explain in detail such as:
(a) How this list is created at present?
(b) Is it a Category List?
(c) If it is indeed a Category List, whether the articles are in the same category or in different categories?
(d) Is there any extension used to create this list?
(e) How your data (categories/articles) is organized?

These details would help others in knowing your environment and offer suggestions.

Here you go!

This list was created using the following:

Menu Item ---->Category List-----Article Order

All articles are in same category.

In the Menu item edit screen for the Category list ... look at the category tab. There are options there for listing sub Categories.
