Taxonomy view: a pre-tutorial views problem

I have been wrestling with views (and looking at the existing views tutorials [http://drupal.org/node/59157] and other handbook material) trying to figure out the solution to what should be--probably is--a fairly simple task using views.

If I can solve this problem (hopefully with help on the forum) I will write it up as a tutorial.

Here's what I would like to accomplish:I have a vocabulary called "Resource Categories." I want to create a page view which will list each of the categories of that vocabulary in alphabetical order and, below each category, will display (in alphabetical order and as a link) a listing of the titles of each node associated with that category.

Sounds straightforward enough. But I keep trying to get views to accomplish this, and no luck. Here's what I did to try: 1) Created a list view called "resources by category"; 2) Added two fields in this order: "Taxonomy:Resource Categories" and "Title:Node". (I did not set any arguments, filters, exposed filters, or sort criteria, as thus far I have not discovered how they work.)

Instead of getting an alphabetized listing of taxonomy terms and their associated node titles, what this creates is a list of all node titles in the order they were posted.

I suspect the problem is that I need to apply arguments, filters, or sort criteria to the view, but have not found this in the documentation. I don't expect a complete solution here: a simple, "why don't you try ...?" would be great. But I need a bit of guidance on this and have not located it at drupal.org. As I said, once I figure this out, I'll write it up and add it as a tutorial.

Thanks
