   so yoast posted one interesting thing about html sitemaps here and i decided to try. i modified it a bit to match my needs:
   

   $cats = get_categories('exclude=156');
   foreach ($cats as $cat) {
   echo '<ul></ul>';
     echo '<span style="color:#8B0000"><strong><FONT size=2>'.$cat->cat_name.'</FONT></strong></span>';
     query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&cat='.$cat->cat_ID);
     while(have_posts()) {
       the_post();
       $category = get_the_category();
       if ($category[0]->cat_ID == $cat->cat_ID) {
         echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
   	 }
   	}
      }

   it could be called ok with
   <?php get_template_part('/partials/anime_list');?>, but i want it to be called with shortcode from for example created page with address anime4psp.org/anime-list . How do i create shortcode? i tried like
   

   <?php
   function anime_list() {
   $cats = get_categories('exclude=156');
   foreach ($cats as $cat) {
   echo '';
   echo ''.$cat->cat_name.'';
   query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&cat='.$cat->cat_ID);
   while(have_posts()) {
   the_post();
   $category = get_the_category();
   if ($category[0]->cat_ID == $cat->cat_ID) {
   echo ''.get_the_title().'';
   }
   }
   }
   }
   
   add_shortcode('anime-list', 'anime_list');
   ?>

   and
   

   <?php
   add_shortcode('anime_list', 'anime_list');
   function anime_list()
   	{
   $cats = get_categories('exclude=156');
   foreach ($cats as $cat) {
   echo '<ul></ul>';
     echo '<span style="color:#8B0000"><strong><FONT size=2>'.$cat->cat_name.'</FONT></strong></span>';
     query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&cat='.$cat->cat_ID);
     while(have_posts()) {
       the_post();
       $category = get_the_category();
       if ($category[0]->cat_ID == $cat->cat_ID) {
         echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
   	 }
   	}
      }
     }
   
   ?>

   but none of it worked. can you help me to make it work please?

   Shortcodes normally would not echo values, but instead return them.

   If you code is actually creating the right output, but echoing it instead of returning it, you can trap it with output buffering. Try it like this:
