I have found one plugin for one of my client project . That is latest posts by category. I thought someone would be looking for that kind of plug in like me. That plug in can show posts from categories. Posts can be limit how many post what you would like to show under categories.

Features of “Latest Posts by Category Archive”

• Can be used via hard-coding inside page templates;
• Can be used as a widget in your widget-ready areas;
• Can be used via shortcodes inside pages’ or posts’ content;
• Can be used either inside or outside the loop;
• Can limit the archive to certain categories, or exclude certain categories;
• Can display or hide post dates;
• Can display or hide post excerpts and adjust their length in words;
• Can set the number of listed post from 1 to ‘all’.
