 * Hi Guys,
 * On the Orders page, I am wanting to add a column that shows what categories have
   been purchased in that order.
 * I have added a couple of other additional columns using the Admin Orders List
   module – but can’t work out the shortcode to add the list of categories purchased?
 * Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Unfortunately Admin Order List only allows using order shortcodes (the context
   is orders, product shortcodes are generally used when the context is products)
   so showing individual categories is not possible yet and we have added that to
   our todo list.

 * Could I display the product item names from an order instead?
    How would I do
   this?

 * Hi,
 * That’s actually possible using
    `[wcj_order_items sep=”<br>”]` shortcode. If 
   you would also like to add quantities you can do that by also adding `field=”
   _qty_x_name”` argument to this shortcode. Be sure to rewrite the shortcode yourself
   and not copy it because these forums replace quotation marks with similar looking
   but not exact same symbols.
