  1. You can use WP_Query to do that

    Try this code(i don’t tested it):

    <?php
    $date = '';
    $query = 'posts_per_page=9999';
    $queryObject = new WP_Query($query);
    // The Loop...
    if ($queryObject->have_posts()) {
        while ($queryObject->have_posts()) {
            $queryObject->the_post();
                    $my_date = the_date('F j', '', '', FALSE);
                    if ($my_date!=$date){
                        echo '<h2>'.$my_date.'</h2>';
                        $date = $my_date;
                    }
                    echo '<h3>';
                    the_title();
                    echo '</h3>';
                    echo '<span>';
                    comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »');
                    echo '</span>';
        }
    }
    ?>
