Sort All Posts by Category Name in the Admin Panel?

zip, you might need to save your category as a new post meta first, that’s how orderby meta_value works.

Not sure if this could help, I stumbled upon this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-order-category/, it could let you specified a category then order posts in that category.

If you’re curious about how to save category into a post meta, I’ve used the Meta Box plugin to do so: http://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-box/. Let me know if you need further assistance.
