Group posts by custom taxonomy

Hi guys, is it possible to group posts by a custom taxonomy? I’m using the custom results template within my theme folder.

For example:

Taxonomy slug: fruits

Taxonomy term (heading): Apples

• Post: Green apple
• Post: Red apple
• Post: Brown apple

Taxonomy term (heading): Strawberries

• Post: small strawberry
• Post: large strawberry

I’d like to use a similar technique like this: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/32902/display-all-posts-in-a-custom-post-type-grouped-by-a-custom-taxonomy

Whilst it is possible to sort by Custom Field (meta Key) – as long as that key holds a single value – it is not possible to sort by taxonomy, as taxonomies are designed to have multiple values. To then provide intermediate headings would have to be handle by the template (by detecting the heading type for each post and when the loop is passed through checking if it has changed.

But this is not a feature of Search & Filter as such.
