In my-theme/template/catalog/navigation/left.phtml here is code for listing of all categories and its respective sub-categories and its working correctly. Here is code of left.phtml file
<?php $_menu = $this->renderCategoriesMenuHtml(0,'level-top') ?>
<?php if($_menu): ?>
<ul ><?php echo $_menu ?>
<ul>
<?php endif ?>
I found renderCategoriesMenuHtml() function in app / code / core / Mage / Catalog / Block/navigation.php here is code of navigation.php file

Now. I have created a new file template to list all categories and its subcategories at location my-theme/template/catalog/navigation/all_cat.phtml and I pasted the code of left.phtml file into all_cat.phtml file. But when I'm executing this file on fronted I could not see any such categories and subcategories in all_cat.phtml file. I dont know what I'm missing and How to correct it. So please someone help me to find it out !
