Three columns [WordPress]

[Pixy]

Hello.

This is a WORDPRESS question - but if you think you can help - please do!

I've been searching for a way to split the latest 15 posts from one specific category, into three columns (contaning 5 items each) and display it as links?

I know that people have shown a way to split ALL CATEGORIES into a number of columns, but that's not what I'm after here.

Example:
I have two categories (Music, Food) with 20 posts in each. So, for the music-page i would like to show the last 15 from the music category and vice versa for the Food-page.

Post 1 Post 6 Post 11
Post 2 Post 7 Post 12
Post 3 Post 8 Post 13
Post 4 Post 9 Post 14
Post 5 Post 10 Post 15

I'm currently displaying them like this:

<ul>
<?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=15&category=1');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>

But it will only give you a long list...and that's ugly

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

I might do something like:

<div class='multicolumn'>
<?php
reset($myposts); // make sure array pointer is at first element
for($col=1; $col<=3; $col++)
{
   echo "<ul class='floater'>\n";
   for($row=1; $row<=5; $row++)
   {
      $post = current($myposts);
      next($myposts);
      if($post === false)
      {
         break;
      }
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php
   }
   echo "</ul>\n";
}
?>
</div>

CSS:

.multicolumn {
   overflow: auto; /* needed to clear the contained floats */
}
.floater {
   float: left;
   margin: 0 1em 0 0;
}
