You can do this with css modification
Use width and float left value for each colone

micker, he is talking about the category Layout of the 'default' template, which uses a html table, not of blog template.

So only with css it will not work.

Inside loop (category_items.php file)
that outputs one row per item,
you would change the code
to output 3 rows per items like this:
(you must have some knowledge to do this, or maybe ask me, since this is simple code for a developer):

ITEM LOOP:

<tr>
<td rowspan="3">col1 data</td>
<td>col2 data</td>
<td rowspan="3">col5 data</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>col3 data</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>col4 data</td>
</tr>

END ITEM LOOP

Regards

and then change it !!!

OK, i will help you since it is not so difficult for me, but you know this is more like some custom development, if i have a lot of people asking this i will not have time to make a living, i am supposed to only respond to bugs, and such questions as yours should be answered by the community

...

I hope other people will find useful this too ...

I will give you code for each item:
-- Will put first and last field like what in your image show as col1 and col5
-- and all in between fields will outputted as one per row
OK?

Replace code (in category_items.php:

Code:

<?php if ($this->params->get('show_title', 1) || count($columns)) : ?>
<table id="flexitable" class="flexitable" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="<?php echo $this->category->name; ?>">
...
<?php endif; ?>

with

Code:

<?php if ($this->params->get('show_title', 1) || count($columns)) : ?>
		<table id="flexitable" class="flexitable" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="<?php echo $this->category->name; ?>">
			<tbody>
			
			<?php foreach ($items as $item) : ?>
				<?php
					$cnt=0;
					foreach ($columns as $name => $label) :
						$cols[$cnt] = $name;
						$cnt++;
					endforeach;
					$midcols_count=count($columns)-2;
					if ($midcols_count<1) $midcols_count=1;
				?>
				
				<!-- BOF item fields 1,2,last -->
				<tr class="sectiontableentry">
					<?php if( count($cols)<1 ) continue; ?>
					<td rowspan="<?php echo $midcols_count;?>"><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$cols[0]}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$cols[0]}->display : ''; ?></td>
					<?php if( count($cols)<2 ) continue; ?>
					<td><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$cols[1]}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$cols[1]}->display : ''; ?></td>
					<?php if( count($cols)<3 ) continue; ?>
					<td rowspan="<?php echo $midcols_count;?>"><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$cols[count($cols)-1]}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$cols[count($cols)-1]}->display : ''; ?></td>
				</tr>
				<!-- EOF item fields 1,2,last-->
				
				<!-- BOF item fields 3,4,...last-1 -->
				<?php for ($cnt=2; $cnt < count($cols)-1; $cnt++) : ?>
				<tr class="sectiontableentry">
					<td><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$cols[$cnt]}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$cols[$cnt]}->display : ''; ?></td>
				</tr>
				<?php endfor; ?>
				<!-- EOF item fields 3,4,...last-1 -->
					
			<?php endforeach; ?>
			
			</tbody>
		</table>
		<?php else : ?>
		<div class="nocols"><?php echo JText::_( 'NO FIELDS IN TEMPLATE' ); ?></div>
