How do I make items sort by taxonomy term and by newest post date in Views?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am just learning how to use views because I need to make a page that shows a bunch of items and I need to have a couple different views available to to user. I need to show the items by newest post date and I need to be able to split them up in to separate categories by taxonomy term. Ideally, on the categories end I would like the page to split in half and show one category on top and the other on the second half of the page. So far I just have a gridview that shows everything.

Can you guys give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Becky

I would take a look at the panels module.

I have found this quite useful when combining views and content types.
