Category Posts order ASC + jQuery Mobile + Alpha List Dividers
I'll explain my issue. Not really an issue but would be an awesome touch to my project.
I'm building a wordpress website using the jQuery mobile framework.
On my archive page, for my specific category, I'm currently running this loop. This loop is set to display all my posts in the 'exhibitors' category, ordered by the post title in alphabetical order.
<ul data-role="listview" data-theme="<?php jqtheme_mainlist(); ?>" data-inset="true">
<?php
// get posts from category 'exhibitors' and display them alphabetical order of post title
if (is_category(array('exhibitors')))
{
$posts = query_posts($query_string .
'&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=-1');
}
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'ui-li-icon')); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<span class="ui-li-count">
<?php
// this returns a custom field from my post
if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Stand Number', true) ) { ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Stand Number', true); ?>
<?php } ?>
</span>
</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; endif;?>
</ul>
The above looks like this with a thumbnail.. http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0b1/#/demos/1.0b1/docs/lists/lists-count.html
Simple, works a beaut. Looks like a long list of names in alphabetical order.
But my BIG question is to take this loop one step further, but I have a feeling it may be impossible.
I want my list to look like this.. http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0b1/#/demos/1.0b1/docs/lists/lists-divider.html
The <li> that I need to somehow inject into the loop on every beginning of a letter change looks like this.
<li data-role="list-divider">A</li>
Can this be done? Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
