adding product to the left-category-navigation in magento

Question

Well, I am working on my first Magento website. I am using Magento 1.9.2 & lunxury theme 1.2.X

I am trying to add products in left navigation bar manually.

What I have done so far

In my app\design\frontend\mgstheme\luxury\template\mgs\mpanel\template\category-navigation.phtml File I put this code.

<?php
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()->addAttributeToSelect('*');
?>


<ul id="content-navigation">
       <?php echo $_menu ?>
        <li>
            <ul>
              <?php foreach ($products as $_product) { ?>
                    <li><?php echo $_product->getName(); ?></li>
                <?php } ?>
            </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>

for now, its printing all products but I want all products under their category name.

I am attaching screenshot for reference here jemmy proof lock to cupboard are the categories and after that its loading all products

Try this:

$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id)
 ->getProductCollection()
 ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
 ->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1) // enabled
 ->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', 4) //visibility in catalog,search
 ->setOrder('price', 'ASC'); //sets the order by price
