   These forums have been such a great help, I thought I might as well jump in and ask my own question. I'm using WP custom post type and taxonomies to create a custom theme to make WordPress act as the CMS for my personal site. I've been teaching myself PHP and the WordPress codex over the years so I want to make sure I get it right.

   I have a custom post type "Portfolio" with a hierarchical taxonomy "Project Type" registered to it. I want to list posts by their project type. Currently I'm running three seperate loops to display links for each project type (Web, Print, Illustration) Example one WP_Query is:

   <?php $thequery = new WP_Query('post_type=portfolio&posts_per_page=-1&project_type=web'); ?>
   --- Do some loop stuff ---

   end result looks something like this:
   

   <h2>Web</h2>
   <ul>
           <li><a>Project 1</a></li>....
   </ul>
   
   <h2>Print</h2>
   <ul>
           <li><a>Project 1</a></li>....
   </ul>
   ... etc

   Is it inefficient to have a loop per project type is there a way to have only one query for a custom post type and use conditionals in the loop to organize by project type? I've been searching the codex and forums and can't seem to find a solution. Thanks in advance!

   I think this is a similar question to what I'm asking in this newer forum entry:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-related-posts

   Can anyone help us out? We need help figuring out how to code the same functions we typically do with the default post type and taxonomies but with our custom post types and custom taxonomies.
