I'm not 100% sure if this is what you mean, but I created a similar listing. It loops through the categories and shows all of its items and some of its details belong and so on.

In my case the categories are data objects as well. The relation between articles and categories are the same as in your case. The articles are held by a category holder page (has many categories).

It's quiet simple to list the items, it can be done in the template - this should be your category holder page.

<!-- loops through categories from has many relation -->
<% loop Categories %>
<h2>$Title</h2>
<ul>
<!-- loops through articles from has many relation - scope within the loop is on the article -->
<% loop Articles($ID) %>
<li>
<a href="$Link">$Title</a>
</li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>
<% end_loop %>

I don't know if really needed, the category dataobject contains the following method to return its articles:

public function Articles($category_id) {
return DataList::create('Article')->filter('CategoryID', $category_id)->sort('Title');
}
