Hi
I am transfering Oslo Spiritual Film Clubs web site into WordPress. I made a custom post named movie.
Right now I am working on the archive page.Here is the original film arkiv.
http://spirituellfilm.no/filmer/filmarkiv.htmlI am working on creating a similar archive page. Of course it does not have to be an archive page but it could be a new regular page called filmarkiv using widgets similar to a widgetized Genesis home page.
Ideas as to how I could create this new film arkiv page?
Links to tutorials?Thanks!

I'm not sure of the specifics without testing it but I'd try looping through every year and then create a new WP_Query/loop for each year.

Yeah. As I have been looking around for advice on how to create this archive page I found http://vimodesigns.com/wordpress/how-to-list-all-posts-in-a-custom-taxonomy-separated-by-terms/ that seems to help a little bit, but the coding for this archive page is a bit over my head so I am still looking for additional resources.
It seems very natural to have an archive page showing year titles and thumbnails/featured images though so I am surprised I am not finding any tutorial for this. If your able to share some code for how I can do this then that would be great. I am working on creating a tutorial once I have actually managed to create the archive page, so that others who look for similar archives with an overview over year and featured images will have a tutorial for it.
coearlseait thank you for the links! I have looked at a bunch of tutorials and am just stuck on the:
Main title
- year-
Featured images- year -
featured imagesetc
part.Hopefully other coders/developers with a better coder mind then what I have for the moment can step in and share so we together can create this really useful archive page tutorial.

I have been testing it out and the code works really well. I have a bit more to do and will also slowly make my own tutorial based on your code. I'll let you know. Awesome work Ren!
Btw
Adjusting the code you wrote will also make an awesome regular archive page. Sorted by year or by category (showing the user how to make this change). It would be so much better then the regular archive template page we have today.

Here is my own tutorial:
