   I've found a lot of code and widgets that come close, but none that do what I want.

   I have 3 categories with multiple posts within each. I want the sidebar to show the categories regardless of which page I'm on AND show the posts but only for my current category.

   So if I'm on a post for category 1 my sidebar would look like:

   Category1
   - post 1
   - post 2

   Category2

   Category3

   If I'm on a post for category 2 my sidebar would look like:
   Category1

   Category2
   - post 1
   - post 2

   Category3

   Can't quite get there. Any help would be appreciated.

   <?php
   //get all categories, then display category title and if category is the current queried category display post titles for that category
   if (is_category( )) {
     $current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
     $taxonomy = 'category';
     $param_type = 'category__in';
     $term_args=array(
       'orderby' => 'name',
       'order' => 'ASC',
     );
     $terms = get_terms($taxonomy,$term_args);
     if ($terms) {
       foreach( $terms as $term ) {
         echo '<p>' . $term->name . '<p>';
         if ($current_cat == $term->term_id ) {
           $args=array(
           "$param_type" => array($term->term_id),
           'post_type' => 'post',
           'post_status' => 'publish',
           'posts_per_page' => -1,
           'caller_get_posts'=> 1
           );
           $my_query = null;
           $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
           if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
             while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
               <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
              <?php
             endwhile;
           }
         }
       }
     }
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   }
   ?>
