Please add the possibility to choose the display order: category order/name for FWW products categories widget.
Would be also great to have a “Only show children of the current category” option.
Both options are available in Woocommerce standard widget Product categories which is very convenient.
We already have the option to allow you to control the category order – please visit the settings page of FWW Beta and enable the “Allow Manual Sorting” option. This gives a slight performance impact, but will then respect whatever ordering you have chosen for your categories/attributes.
Also – there is already an option to show just the children of the current category. One potential use case is to have 2 category widgets – one showing the top level hierarchy only and the other showing only the children of the currently selected category. This 2nd widget option will only display IF a category is actually selected.
To use this option, visit Appearance -> Widgets, expand your FWW Category widget, then change “Type of category list” to “Children”.
