Simple plugin to display categories in any post or page with a shortcode. It's basically a shortcode API interface to the wp_list_categories WordPress function. This means given any of the parameters accepted by the function, you can pass it in as a shortcode parameter to the categories shortcode.

Usage:

[categories orderby=count]

Will display links to all the categories and order them by number of posts in each category.

You can also list tags or any other WordPress taxonomy. You need to pass a value to the taxonomy parameter. For example to list tags: [categories taxonomy=post_tag title_li="Tags"].
