Current behaviour
The “Account : Orders” query offers only “Type”
and “No results” in its settings. There is no Number / posts per page
control.
Why this is a problem
The dashboard state is currently the least useful part of the account area:
a greeting and a list of links. What would make it an actual dashboard is a
compact overview. The last few orders with status and total, next to the
links to addresses and account details. That is exactly what the new account
queries make possible, and the orders preview is the piece that carries it.
Without a limit, the preview turns into a second orders page: a long-standing
customer renders dozens of rows in a card meant to show a handful. Hiding the
surplus with :nth-child leaves every row in the DOM and in the accessibility
tree, so it is not a fix.
Request
Add a Number control to the “Account : Orders” query, ideally alongside Offset
and Order, consistent with the other query types.
The new WooCommerce V2 is awesome by the way!!
