When I use the grid storefront page, I would like to also display the category tree and be able to specify the order in which the products appear in the grid. Is this possible?

If you edit the "frontdoor.php" file, you will see a line that says:
<?php /* get_sidebar(); */ ?>
Change this line to:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
And save the file.
Then, open up "functions.php" for editing.
Find around line #60 where it says:
#content .products .widgetcase { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_STYLE_WIDTH_PRODUCTS']-25; ?>px; } #content .grid { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_TOTAL_PAGE_WIDTH']; ?>px; } // The following is if widget sidebar is enabled //#content .grid { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_TOTAL_PAGE_WIDTH']-$mkt_options['mkt_STYLE_WIDTH_PRODUCTS']; ?>px; }
Change the last three lines to this:
#content .products .widgetcase { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_STYLE_WIDTH_PRODUCTS']-25; ?>px; } //#content .grid { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_TOTAL_PAGE_WIDTH']; ?>px; } /* The following is if widget sidebar is enabled */ #content .grid { width: <?php echo $mkt_options['mkt_TOTAL_PAGE_WIDTH']-$mkt_options['mkt_STYLE_WIDTH_PRODUCTS']; ?>px; }
Save the file, and I think that'll complete the sidebar change.
As far as ordering the products, the order is controlled in "frontdoor.php" on line #34. "orderby" and "order" are the two settings. You can change them to different things if you want. You'll need to reference the support area of WordPress.org for what the values can be.

Thanks for the reply. I found an easy way to order the products, both in the New Additions area and the Store page: Just manipulate the published date.

BTW – the fix you gave does show the categories on the storefront page – but it deletes the items.
What I was lookign for was a way to show the categories to the right of the product thumbnails.

Ok I left out the 2nd step (duh).
Did both edits, but the page looked better before. Thanks again for your help.
