 * Hi,
 * Thank you for using WooCommerce Product Table and your query.
 * When you say ‘group the table lines by Category column’ do you mean sorting the
   products by category? WCPT does not have a ‘grouping’ facility right now. While
   the plugin does have ‘sorting’ facility, it cannot sort products by category.
 * Instead, you can sort products by ‘custom field’ in [WCPT PRO](https://pro.wcproducttable.com),
   the premium version of the plugin. Then, if you create a custom field on each
   product and store the product’s category name in that custom field, you can sort
   products by that custom field. This simulates sorting by category.
 * For a more detailed explanation on this topic please see the [documentation](https://wcproducttable.com/documentation/sorting-by-column-heading)
   here. It describes how to sort by attributes using the custom field method. The
   same method applies for sorting by category.

 * Also, in case I misunderstood your query and you wanted to filter the products
   by category that can be done using the category filter included in WCPT Lite.
   You can see the [table navigation related tutorial videos here](https://wcproducttable.com/tutorial/tutorial-4-navigation).
 * If you want to display the table without the category filter, but still re-use
   the same shortcode for multiple category tables you can use the category shortcode
   attribute. Please see the [documentation on shortcode attributes here](https://wcproducttable.com/documentation/shortcode-attribute).
