Hi,
For 1 & 2/ I recommend you use WPBakery Page Builder and use "Portfolio" element from WPBakery Page Builder to config your Portfolio.
Please check guide here to know how to get WPBakery Page Builder plugin.
When you installed that plugin, go to edit your page > switch to WPBakery Page Builder editor > find element "Soledad Portfolio" > and click build query button to build your queries - check this image
When you use Build Query on portfolio, fill the categories you want to appears ( if that's categories of posts, fill on "Categories" of Build Query, if that's categories of Portfolio fill on "Taxonomies" of Build Query )
The filter will appears like the order you fill in.
You also you can check this video tutorial to know how to config homepage by use WPBakery Page Builder.
3/ You can use element "Soledad Featured Boxes" from WPBakery to do that.
4/ Do you mean about re-order categories ? If so, please try use this plugin
Best Regards,
