That article isn’t super clear on that point, but the key is you need to create the custom menu item for the category page using the links option instead of the category option.
The point is made at the bottom of this support article, but it’s easy to miss: http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/#other-options-with-category-pages

I actually read that same article several times without really understanding how to use that code for anything other than switching the order of posts for my individual reading, so thanks for providing me the motivation to actually dig into the problem :)
