## Beschrijving

This simple shortcode plugin allows you to list posts as a bulleted list linking
to the full article. You can limit
 the list to posts from a specific category and
you can select the number of posts to show. The `order` and orderby options lets
you sort the list too.

Usage is simple. Create a page or post and use the code `[showposts category="2"
num="4"]` – this will show
 all 4 posts from category 2. Another example `[showposts
category="1" num="-1" orderby="date" order="DESC"]` shows all the posts from category
1 ordered by the date (newest post first).

By default, only 5 posts are shown (unless you use the `num` option) and sorting
in by date (oldest to newest).

### Example

You can see two examples of the code working at the following links:

You can use the following parameters to customize what is displayed (all are optional):

    ```
    [showposts category="2" num="4" orderby="date" order="DESC"]
    ```

Set `order` to one of the following:

 * `author` – Sort by the numeric author IDs.
 * `category` – Sort by the numeric category IDs.
 * `content` – Sort by content.
 * `date` – Sort by creation date.
 * `ID` – Sort by numeric post ID.
