Is it possible to have a channel with 5 categories and have all the entries listed in order first by categories and then in each category listed by title?

ie:
Cat 1 title 1
Cat 1 title 2
Cat 1 title 3

Cat 2 title 1
Cat 2 title 2
Cat 2 title 3

Cat 3 title 1
Cat 3 title 2
Cat 3 title 3

etc.

If you mean something like this, then yes

http://eehowto.com/index.php/howto-2010/categories

{exp:channel:category_archive channel="howto" show_empty="no"}

{categories}<h3>{category_name}</h3>
<p>Number of entries: {exp:catcount cat_id="{category_id}" status="open|closed"}<br />
{/categories}</p>

<p>{entry_titles}<a href="http://{path=howto/articles}">{title}</a>{/entry_titles}</p>

<p>{/exp:channel:category_archive}

NOTE: I’m using a small plugin to count the number of entries.

Does that help?
Ordinarily this would be considered a howto or a Community Help forum question, but I had the code on hand to show you.

that may work.  Let me test it out and see.

Since this is more of a how do I kind of question, I’m going to move it to the Community Help forum for additional community support. I do know it works, though. 😊

What if I wanted to include more than just the entry titles in the list?

something more like:

CATEGORY 1 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

CATEGORY 2 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

CATEGORY 3 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

CATEGORY 1 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

CATEGORY 2 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

CATEGORY 3 NAME
title 1 customfield 1
title 2 customfield 2
title 3 customfield 3

I’m trying to achieve the same thing - have you figured it out yet?
