   I am trying to figure out a way to get monthly archives and group them by category.

   Category 1
   August 11
   July 11
   June 11

   Category 2
   August 11
   July 11
   June 11

   Category 3
   August 11
   July 11
   June 11

   I found this code which essentially groups the posts by category... The more i look for what i'm trying to do, the more i think it can't be done.

   <?php
   $cat_args = array(
     'orderby' => 'name',
     'order' => 'ASC',
     'child_of' => 0
   );
   
   $categories =   get_categories($cat_args); 
   
   foreach($categories as $category) {
       echo '<dl>';
       echo '<dt> <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a></dt>';
   
        $post_args = array(
         'numberposts' => 5,
         'category' => $category->term_id
       );
   
       $posts = get_posts($post_args);
   
   	foreach($posts as $post) {
   	?>
   		<dd><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></dd>
   	<?php
   	}
   	echo '<dd class="view-all"> <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>View all posts in ' . $category->name.'</a></dd>';
   	echo '</dl>';
   }
   ?>

   This plugin did the trick

   Installed it and simple used " <?php wp_get_archives('cat=27,type=monthly'); ?>
