The Categories Slider widget is similar to the **[Category List](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/elisen/integrations/category-list)**, serving the same function of displaying post categories, with a set of almost identical settings for filtering, sorting, and some design features. The key difference is that it presents the categories in a slider format and includes additional settings related to the functionality of the slider itself. Here an overview of the settings:

- **Slider Type**: choose from different slider styles.
- **Output Subcategories**: toggle whether to display subcategories.
- **Number of Categories**: specify how many categories to show.
- **Order by**: select the attribute by which the categories will be sorted, such as 'Count'.
- **Order**: set the sorting order, like 'DESC' for descending.
- **Navigation**: enable or disable navigation controls for the slider.
- **Pagination**: enable or disable pagination controls.
