Archiving by Issue

Hi there folks, I am starting up a Textpatternized magazine and I am trying to figure out how to to organize my archives into issue numbers.

For instance, I don’t really care about when an article is released on my site, but when the user goes to the archive section, they can see a list of articles grouped by issue number. I have designated categories for each issue, for instance “001”, “002”, “003” etc.

So, ideally, this is what the user would see:

<code>
Issue #002
Article
Article
Article
Article

Issue #001
Article
Article
Article
</code>

And so on. Is this possible? Is there a nifty plugin that would do that job? Thanks for any help at all :)

FAQ. See the bottom bit about grouping by things other than month.

Thanks for the reply —

is it possible to do that with categories instead of sections? I already have sections for my articles (like Editorials, Features, etc).

Thanks, I got it. I used <code><txp:category_list /></code>

Yes, you can use the FAQ method to group by category, or anything else.
