09/2013 10/2013
Food $300.00 Food $320.00
Housing $600.00 Housing $600.00
Utility $200.00 Utility $200.00

It will be both Linq and Html coding...

I took more than a Simple Group by Expression. Thanks for making me rethink the Group clause. My final Linq is below.
var budgets = (from b in context.Budgets
join c in context.Categories on b.CategoryID equals c.CategoryID
let j = new BudgetViewModel { category = c, budget = b }
group j by j.budget.Date into g
select new Group<DateTime, BudgetViewModel>
{ Key = g.Key, Values = g.OrderBy(s => s.category.Name) });
var budgets = (from b in context.Budgets
join c in context.Categories on b.CategoryID equals c.CategoryID
let j = new BudgetViewModel { category = c, budget = b }
group j by j.budget.Date into g
select new Group<DateTime, BudgetViewModel>
{ Key = g.Key, Values = g.OrderBy(s => s.category.Name) });
