you can by $currentPage/../Archive//NewsItems

Not working.

I'm trying to group by year and month the content nodes that are in a sibling node.  This gives me no results.

why you won't work with the datefolders? it's already grouped for you.

I'm using auto folders, and yes, in the backend things are grouped.  But the output is not grouped.  I am trying to output the contents of the auto folders.

Solved.
