Thanks, that's genius!  However, the problem I now have is that the sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading.  That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts.

Hi there,

   I've got a table of contents for a document that's split into two 
large sections.  I'm trying to display a centered heading for each 
section, and subsections listed in two columns underneath each section 
heading.  Hopefully this illustrates something of what I'm trying to 
achieve:

\midaligned{Section1}
\startcolumns[n=2]
Subsection1
....
\stopcolumns

\midaligned{Section2}
\startcolumns[n=2]
Subsection1
....
\stopcolumns

Does anyone know how to automate this for a table of contents?
    

% \setuplist
%   [chapter]
%   [after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]
