You can do a loop in the view -- just prepare a data structure in the controller and pass it to the view (i.e., move the queries to the controller). Actually, you can probably just do a single query including all items in taxonomy_set (and orderby that field) -- then just send the entire Rows object to the view and loop through it. Note, you should also probably avoid using the .render() method to translate each foreign key to its represented value, as that will issue a separate database query for each item. Instead, maybe change your query to do a join and include the relevant fields from the foreign table.
