Multiple columns w/ grouped output

[Explorer5]

I'm familiar with how to dynamically create more than one column in an query,
but until now, ive never done it in conjunction with a grouped output.

I'm trying to display article headings, and then beneath those headings their
articles.
Here's the code i'm using.

<cfquery name="GetArticles" datasource="Weddingsetgo">
select *
from articletypes,articles
where articletypes.articletypeid=articles.articletypeid
order by articletype asc
</cfquery>
<CFSET NumberOfColumns = 2>
<table width=100% valign=top height=100%>
<tr>
<cfoutput query="GetArticles" group="Articletype">
<CFIF (CurrentRow MOD NumberOfColumns) IS 1>
</TR><TR valign=bottom>
</CFIF>
<td>
<b>#articleheading#</b>
<cfoutput group="headline">
<li class="text">#headline#</li>
</cfoutput>
</td>
</cfoutput>
</tr>
</table>

For some odd reason, two columns only appear twice, and then in one row -
there are three columns.. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks,

try adding the 'group by' to the query itself, in the sql. my hunch is the recordset pointer for the CurrentRow variable gets thrown out of whack by the 'group by' parameter in the query output.
