List all posts of one category alphabetically in the sidebar

Actually depends now on what version of wp you’re running.

If it’s the 2.1 branch, take a look at Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

If it’s the 2.0 branch, try Template_Tags/wp_list_cats

No, I’m just an idiot who needs coffee but am stuck in a library and who’s brain has gone to mush. 🙂

Template_Tags/get_posts

Do the category and orderby options.

Take a look at the bit about ‘Access all post data’ What you’re going to do probably is skip the the_content call.
