      Hello,
      I’ve checked the flag “sorts by and displays categories in cart, order page and emails” but I cant understand in which way the category in the cart are sorted. I suppose by ID but I cant see where I can change it.

          Sure, but the problem is sort the category inside the cart/email not in the navigation menu, because inside the cart the sort order of the category doesn’t respect the sort order of navigation menu.

            haven’t looked at that for ages actually , but from what i can see/remember it simply adds newly added items to the cart or to a respective category in that cart if it already exists

            along the following lines:
            a) customer adds starters
            b) customer adds main course
            c) customer adds dessert
            d) customer adds drinks

            so it will be show in a/b/c/d order (but items themselves sorted as set within those cats)

            having said that, there is certainly a case that can be made for also allowing the category sort order to be displayed as set

            admittedly, i am even somewhat surprised myself this is not the case , but i cannot tell you whether that was a decision made at the time to be as it is or in fact that option/order got lost at some time in the past in one of the many updates and no-one has noticed yet

            suffice to say: i agree with you this should be an option (at least, if not even the default)
            i’ll dig around for a bit and see what i can do in the next update

            cheers

              just a couple of things
              a) apologies for sending you to the faq link. i did not read the initial post properly (i.e i wrongly read this to be about item sorting not categories), my bad
              b)looking at what’s there, and in addition to what i said earlier, it does make perfect sense to me to also sort by selected/set category order first (if categories are to be displayed in the cart) and i will add that to the next update (never been the case before from what i can see , so thanks for pointing it out)
              c) it will not however (necessarily) match the order of your navigation menu (talking about the using “WordPress->Appearance->menu” settings here) as this order can of course be set arbitrarily, (but it would naturally respect the order of the wppizza navigation widget if used) – -just pointing this out to avoid confusion further down the line perhaps

              just bear with me for a few days and update the plugin when the next version becomes available . It will automagically follow the settings as discussed then

              cheers
