Can the `downloads` shortcode support `offset`?

I don't think the downloads shortcode accepts offset when displaying a set of downloads.

offset is useful in cases where the shortcode is being used multiple times on the same web page. Here is an example:

Most expensive downloads in a given category

[downloads category="7" orderby="price" number="6"]

Affordable downloads in the same given category

[downloads category="7" orderby="price" number="6" offset="26"]

You should be able to add support for the offset parameter with this snippet:

add_filter( 'edd_downloads_query', 'prefix_add_offset_downloads', 10, 2 );
/**
 * Add an offset to the downloads query.
 *
 * @param array $query
 * @param array $attributes
 * @return array
 */
function prefix_add_offset_downloads( $query, $attributes ) {
    if ( ! empty( $attributes['offset'] ) ) {
        $query['offset'] = absint( $attributes['offset'] );
    }

    return $query;
}

However, if your goal is to show the least expensive items in that category, maybe it would be easier to add order="ASC" to the shortcode for the second use (DESC is the default). That way, if you add another item to the category, you should not have to update the shortcode offset value.

Thanks for the filter @robincornett
