    Hi, Debasish.

    I create a template called archives that lists items by their category.

    Here’s the first part of the code:

    {exp:channel:categories channel="howto" show_empty="no" style="linear"}
    <li><a href="http://{path=howto/archives}">{category_name}</a></li>
    {/exp:channel:categories}

    Then I have the following code in howto/archives:

    {exp:channel:entries channel="howto" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="100" disable="pagination|custom_fields|categories|member_data"}
    
    {date_heading display="yearly"}
    <h2 class="title">{entry_date format="%Y"}</h2>
    {/date_heading}
    
    {date_heading display="monthly"}
    <h3 class="date">{entry_date format="%F"}</h3>
    {/date_heading}
    
    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://{title_permalink=">{title}</a></li>
    </ul>
    {/exp:channel:entries}

    If you visit http://eehowto.com and click on HowTo in the right nav, you’ll see what it looks like. Pay no attention to the items in the left nav - haven’t gotten around to fiddling with removing the default code from the template.
