WordPress Shortcode sort by category

Hi,

I am creating my own slideshow plugin. The user can add a category for each slide and I want by shortcode to display it, sort of like

[shortcode category="my_awesome_slideshow_category]

and that would display all my slides that are in my_awesome_slideshow_category

Any tip?

Thanks

What Dennis suggests is pretty spot on although this should really be included as a plugin and not in the theme itself. Were you able to work out how to do this?
