How to sort posts by categories in a newsletter ?

[Seppia]

Hello

I’m trying to build a newsletter template that would automatically set the posts according to their category on a certain layout.
For example my newsletter would look like :

CATEGORY 1 TITLE
Post1FromCategory1
Post2FromCategory1
Post3FromCategory1

CATEGORY 2 TITLE
Post1FromCategory2
Post1FromCategory2
Post1FromCategory2

So far, I’ve duplicated an existing free template and started editing the code, according to this page.

The code that generates the table containing the posts is :

<?php if (!empty($posts)) { ?>
                            <table cellpadding="5">
                                <?php foreach ($posts as $post) { setup_postdata($post); ?>
                                    <tr>
                                        <?php if (isset($theme_options['theme_thumbnails'])) { ?>
                                                                                
                                         <td valign="top"><a target="_blank"  href="<?php echo get_permalink($post); ?>"><img width="360px" src="<?php echo newsletter_get_post_image($post->ID, 'medium'); ?>" alt="image"></a></td>
                                        <?php } ?>
                                        <td valign="top">
                                            <a target="_blank"  href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 26px; text-transform: uppercase;"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                                            <?php if (isset($theme_options['theme_excerpts'])) the_excerpt($post); ?>
                                            
                                                                                       
                                        </td>
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                        ?>
                                       
                                    </tr>
                                <?php } ?>
                            </table>
                            <?php } ?>

I guess I should duplicate the table, customize it for each category, and for each instance filter only the posts from a certain category to go in a certain table, but I don’t know how to do this last part.

If anyone wants to give a hand, I’d be grateful!
