Magento – Position Static Block Under Category Grid

categorystatic-block

I have 3 categories set up to display Static Block & Products however I would like the static block to be displayed under the category grid. As this is not for every category only a few is there a way to achieve this either using the Custom Layout Update tab or similar solution.

You can create a new yes/no attribute for the category names 'Show block below grid' with code block_below_grid. See here how (or search the web - this is common)
Now edit app/design/frontend/{interface}/{theme}/catalog/category/view.phtml and replace this : 

<?php elseif($this->isMixedMode()): ?>
    <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
    <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>

with this:

<?php elseif($this->isMixedMode()): ?>
    <?php if ($_category->getBlockBelowGrid()) : ?>
        <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>
        <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
        <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>
    <?php endif;?>
