group same fields in views using custom template
Go to your view: admin/build/views
Edit your view: admin/build/views/edit/view_name
Look at your fields node title (field_title) and node author (field_author) and click on Node:Title for instance
Once editing the view output of the Node:Title field, check "Rewrite the output of this field" 
You should see replacement patterns: [title] == Node: Title


In the Rewrite this field section called "Text:" enter

    &lt;div class="some-class-name"&gt;[title]&lt;/div&gt;



Repeat 3,4 and 5 for the Node:Author field.

&lt;div class="some-class-name-author"&gt;[author]&lt;/div&gt;

You can put anything else in the rewrite field here.


(note: D7 has more options that using the rewrite method)
