Here is a sample I did with a list, I am sure you can re-purpose it for a query
I have added comments so you know
//We set a list of words we are going to loop over
<cfset lWords = "eine, meine, miney, mo, catch, developers, by, their, toe">
<cfset nLength = ListLen(lWords)>
//The number of columns we want (this is a word and spacer)
<cfset columns = 4>
//Now, we check how many rows there would be , I do a ceiling function
so that I get the upper integer e.g.
//if we have 9 items, and we have 4 columns, we shall have 3 rows, the
last row having one item and 3 blanks
<cfset rows = Evaluate(ceiling(nLength/columns))>
//the ideal number of records that we shall have in TOTAL (including
empty ones) in the table
<cfset idealrecords = Evaluate(rows * columns)>
<cfoutput>
Number of items = #nLength#<br />
Number of columns = #columns# <br />
Number of Rows = #rows#<br />
Ideal Number of Columns = #idealcols#<br />
<table border="1">
<tr>
//Loop from 1 to the ideal total number of items (never mind rows)
<cfloop from="1" to="#idealcols#" index="i">
//We set if this column needs a row
<cfset colCounter = i MOD columns>
//make sure that we dont need an empty space
<cfif i LTE ListLen(lWords)>
<td>#ListGetAt(lWords, i)# #colCounter#</td>
<cfelse>
<td> </td>
</cfif>
//Insert a row if required
<cfif colCounter EQ 0>
</tr>
<tr>
<cfelse>
<td> </td>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</table>
</cfoutput>
This should get you started, I am sure you can condense this but I
made it verbose so you could understand it
I shall try something with a query for you to use but otherwise you
could use ValueList(your query.column) and achieve the same effect
