How to show posts of an columnized different categories on the same line or row?

by

One way to output the same query yet style it differently is to use current_post or in combination with rewind_posts, or using rewind_posts alone.

So for example:

Your initial query

 if ($my_query->have_posts()) :while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

  $counter_id = $my_query->current_post + 1;   //this is the counter

// then use a conditional to style each on based on `# or %

 if ($wp_query->current_post % 2 == 0)

// add custom styles

endwhile; else:

// 
// Or rewind the post with a count and conditional

rewind_posts();  //rewind the post back to the start

if $counter_id == 1  //do some style
if $counter_id > 3   // do some style
//etc

Another more simple option is to just use multiple separate loops (and DB query’s)

I hope this logic makes sense and helps , I don’t have the time to actually write your query and test it.
