you can sort categories by dragging them around under products>categories in the dashboard – that sets the menu_order, which is the order they’ll be displayed in on just about any widget.
But if I want to display latest products in a sidebare from a jewerly category on one page, and then a handbag category in the sidebar of another page?
I just want products from one category listed in a widget. Or maybe I can just use the shortcode, in a text widget?
I am not smart. 😉
