Zend Paginator parameters - pagination

Question

I'm building a site with Zend 2.3 and what I want to do is to paginate the results using
Zend Paginator. I don't get any error, in fact I can see every link correctly, however they don't work properly.
When I want to paginate the news within a category, Paginator generates the following links:
........./index/categories/1
........./index/categories/2
........./index/categories/3
............................
Instead the links I want (i.e category 2) should be like:
............/index/categories/2/1
............/index/categories/2/2
............/index/categories/2/3
This is my module.config:
'index'=>array(
'type'=>'Segment',
'options'=>array(
'route' => '/index[/[:action][/:id][/:id2]]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
'action' => 'index'
),
),
),
I've already tried passing $cat_id from controller to URL helper ('id'=>$this->id) but it doesn't work. Only it seems to work when I hardcode the id value, for example:
First
This doesn't work:
First
So my question is, How can I do it work passing vars to Paginator?
Thanks

It's hard to create an example with such limited information but generally you'd follow this:
This would be in your controller
// This is some array of data that you've pulled from a data source
$arrayOfYourData = array();
$paginator = new \Zend\Paginator\Paginator(new \Zend\Paginator\Adapter\ArrayAdapter($arrayOfYourData));
$paginator->setItemCountPerPage(25);
$paginator->setCurrentPageNumber((int) $this->params()->fromQuery('page',1));
// now return $paginator to your view by assigning it to ViewModel, etc
Then in your view you would have something like this example
<?php echo $this->paginationControl($paginator, 'Sliding', 'your-namespace/pagination_control.phtml', array('route'=>'some/route', 'routeOptions'=>array('action'=>'some-action')); ?>
and then you should have a views/your-namespace/pagination_control.phtml as such:
<?php if ($this->pageCount): ?>
<div class="paginationControl">
<?php echo $this->firstItemNumber; ?> - <?php echo $this->lastItemNumber; ?>
of <?php echo $this->totalItemCount; ?>
<!-- First page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->previous)): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url($this->route, array('page' => $this->first)); ?>">
First
</a> |
<?php else: ?>
<span class="disabled">First</span> |
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Previous page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->previous)): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url($this->route, array('page' => $this->previous)); ?>">
< Previous
</a> |
<?php else: ?>
<span class="disabled">< Previous</span> |
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Next page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->next)): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url($this->route, array('page' => $this->next)); ?>">
Next >
</a> |
<?php else: ?>
<span class="disabled">Next ></span> |
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Last page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->next)): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url($this->route, array('page' => $this->last)); ?>">
Last
</a>
<?php else: ?>
<span class="disabled">Last</span>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
