I am building a website with MT and I am using two columns on my frontpage. The right column has content of the 'main' category and the left column of 'another' category.
Ideally I want the right column to show the last 10 posts of this category and the left column only 4 posts of its chosen category. I have added the lastn="10" and lastn="4" in the MTentries tag, but it only shows the last 4 posts of all categories. So, 3 in the right column and 1 in the left column. If for example, I would now add a new 'main' category item, i would see 4 posts in the right and 0 in the left column.
How can I change this, so that it shows the 10 posts and 4 posts?

Hi Nicole,
What do you call "main" category? Is that setup as a category?
What don't you pass the parameter:
category="Category Label Here"
for the mt:Entries tag?
You could do something like this:
<mt:Entries category="My Main Category is CASE SENSITIVE" lastn="10">
and:
<mt:Entries category="Another Category is CASE SENSITIVE" lastn="4">
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru
