Is there any way to order posts by category name?
I tried
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'dlm_download',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'order_by'=> 'cat',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
But it does not really work, could please someone give me a hint?

I had the same struggle like you, thank i sat down and rethought the whole thing, what you actually need to is select all the categories, and pass the category id to it.
Since you use a dlm_download you will need to do the following, get the terms from the dlm_download_category
$cats = get_terms('dlm_download_category');
Loop trough the category and pass query_posts
in it
so
foreach ($cats as $cat)
{
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'dlm_download',
'dlm_download_category' => $cat->slug,
);
query_posts($args);
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// your stuff here
endwhile;
endif;
}
And there you go
PS: if you want to make it with posts
not with custom post
Than $cats = get_categories();
and pass 'cat'
in to the argument.
Hope its clear and helps. Cheers
