The CSS 3 specification has support for multi-column output. However, it's still a working draft, and therefore not officially sorted. In general, I'd recommend using CSS for styling, not tables, as while it's a bit more complicated, it's also a lot more flexible.

Try Googling "CSS columns" and finding the guide that suits you best. There's a fair amount of them. I'd also recommend testing them in all relatively recent versions of IE (5+), as some won't work correctly due to IE's horrible support for anything CSS.
