Categories module doesn't support joomla alternative layouts

I'm working on a modification to the Easyblog categories module and wanted to try to use Alternative Layouts from Joomla 2.5. In theory, there should be a parameter under the advanced tab that gives me this option. On this category module, it does not have this available to me as the docs say it should.

Is this module setup to utilize the alternative layouts for Joomla 2.5 that was introducted in Joomla 1.6? I would expect to be able to do this so I can override the module on a certain module and not all categories modules like I have to do now with a template override.

This module can be seen on the blog page at the top.

Thanks!
