    @rootlock

    Thanks for your input. What I've got (based on Ryan Irelan's example) is a channel called "print_editions" and within that content entries for each month's issue (Sept 2012, Oct 2012 etc.).

    I have several channels (articles, features, editorials etc.) and each channel has a field relating appropriate entries to the "print_editions" channel and the appropriate monthly entry within that. So an article flagged 'Sep 2012' will be related to "print_editions/sep_2012"

    I can pull all of the related content into the template fine, but they just display in generic order-- articles mixed with editorials etc. via the single channel they are related to (print_editions).

    I want to retain a table of contents like display:

    Articles Heading
    -articles

    Editorials Heading
    -editorials

    Ryan Irelan's examples only ever include one channel related to another, so perhaps it's not a good model to base it off of.
