Jekyll & Liquid: Output category list with post count?

Question

I\'m somehow stuck and don\'t find the right way to do it.

I want to output a category list with the number of posts in each categorie.

I got this far: https://p

Answer 1

An incremental improvement over Hossain's answer, which sorts the categories. Tested with Jekyll 3.3.1:

Blog Posts Sorted By Category
{% assign sorted_categories = site.categories | sort %}
{% for tag in sorted_categories %}
  
{{ tag[0] | capitalize }}
  

    {% assign pages_list = tag[1] %}
    {% for post in pages_list %}
      {% if post.title != null %}
      {% if group == null or group == post.group %}
      

          {{ post.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}
          •
          {{ post.title }}
        
      {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% assign pages_list = nil %}
    {% assign group = nil %}
  
{% endfor %}
