Hi I try to do something like this in Template:

<% loop getAllCategories %>
     <h1>$Category</h1> <!-- this is Correct -->
     <% loop Up.getFurnitureByCategory($Category) %>
       //content here
     <% end_loop %>
<% end_loop %>

In getFurnitureByCategory I don't get the Category, instead I get and string "$Category".

I also tried escaping like {$Category}, but then I the braces are just part of my string.
And $Me.Category didn't work either.

As soon as you use $Up, you take it out of the category scope, so you can't use $Category like that as it doesn't exist in your current scope.

From what you're doing, I think you'd be better off using a GroupedList: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/howto/grouping-dataobjectsets
