Do a GROUP BY in your query... then start a table, and a table row... then
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="queryname" GROUP="categoryfieldname">
<td>#categoryname#<BR>---------<BR>
<CFOUTPUT GROUP="itemfieldname">
#itemname#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
</td>
</CFOUTPUT>
and close the row/table. That way, each category has its own column.
