Custom sorting categories on Home Page in Woocommerce 3 Storefront theme

enter image description here I show a list of categories on the main page. I need the last category to be second. I studied the sorting options, but they are not suitable. By name, by ID, randomly. Сategory with id "50" need to be second on the list.

add_filter( 'storefront_product_categories_args', 'custom_storefront_product_categories');
function custom_storefront_product_categories( $args ) {
    $args['limit'] = 9;
    $args['columns'] = 3;
    $args['orderby'] = 'id'; // sort by id category
    return $args;
}

EDIT:

I have tried to add the product categories sorted IDs using:

function custom_storefront_category_filtering( $args ) {
    $args['ids'] = '16,50,17,18,19,20,21,22,23'; // need such a sequence of categories
    return $args;
}
add_filter('storefront_product_categories_shortcode_args','custom_storefront_category_filtering' );

But it only include the product categories.

As product categories are a custom taxonomy id, ids or even ID will not work. Instead you will use term_id which is the appropriated argument value for orderby argument in this context.

Why? because we don't target post IDs but terms IDs.

So in your filter hook:

add_filter( 'storefront_product_categories_args', 'custom_storefront_product_categories');
function custom_storefront_product_categories( $args ) {
    $args['limit'] = 9;
    $args['columns'] = 3;
    $args['orderby'] = 'term_id';

    return $args;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
