You have a couple of options. You could bring back the count in your SQL
query, by using COUNT and GROUPing BY the field that you're ORDERing BY now.
Or, you could use a counter and build a string in your nested CFOUTPUT
block, then display the string after getting the count:

<cfoutput query="xx" group="xxxx">
  #xx.category#
  <cfset counter = 0>
  <cfset myoutputstr = "">
  <cfoutput>
        <cfset counter = counter + 1>
        <cfset myoutputstr = myoutputstr & xx.myfield & "<whatever HTML
formatting required> & xx.myotherfield ...>
  </cfoutput>
  (#counter# items)<br>
  #myoutputstr#
</cfoutput>
