<p>This plugin creates the [Category]] Shortcode.  The code takes 5 arguments:</p>
<p>number: the number of posts to display.  0 equals the default number.  -1 equals the total available.</p>
<p>Order: Ascending or Descending</p>
<p>Display Method:  Full, Excerpt, Title</p>
<p>Order By: Author, Date, Title, Modified, Parent, ID, Rand, None, or Comment Count.</p>
<p>Category: this is the category id the category or categories that should be searched.  Multiple categories can be specified in a comma separated list.</p>
<p>Example shortcode:</p>
<p>[Category number=’5′ method=’title’ order=’asc’ id=’11,45′ orderby=’comment_count’]</p>
<p>This will show 5 posts in ascending order of category 11 and 45 as arranged by comment_count and will display just the post titles.</p>
