I'm trying out jqgrid plugin and it seems to fit most of my need, that's a nice plugin.

Only thing that is missing out for a project I work on, is line grouping or nesting, I need to allow two level of grouping over the same set of data (that is not hierarchical data).

What I mean is something like outlook “group by”, let say we have buyorder list, here is some sample of what an user would like:
- group them by date and status and sort by customer
- group them by status and customer, and sort by date
- … you get the idea
How this will fit? here is a na

Hello,

You can use a grid as subgrid for this purpose (If I understand right) . See examples

Hello Tony, thanks for your answer.

The subgrid (and sub-subgrid for the matter because I need at least 2 nesting levels) wouldn't fit because
- Groups are solely label (no need for X columns), not a master-detail scenario
- I need the column of the main table to match the nested data (buyorder attributes in my example).
- I don't want the columns header of nested data to be repeated for every nested group
Line breaks are just rows with a single column (and according colspan),

Hello Tony!

Is there any way to implement this feature nearest time? At the moment we are in the middle of investigation in order to choose datagrid for our new project, and we was going to choose jqGrid… But one of the main requirements in our project is ability to group rows by columns.

Unfortunately if this feature will not be implemented – we will have to choose another solution 🙁

But I really like jqGrid and hope to find the solution…

P.S. Another online demo's from different products (maybe to better understand the idea and usefullness of the feature):

– http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/07_extended_modes/01_pro_group.html

– http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/groupby/outlookstyle/defaultcs.aspx

– http://www.treegrid.com/treegrid/www/

With respect,

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for the recommendation.

Yes, I know about these. Simple – yes – there are plans to implement this feature.

Currently I'm working on 3.6 relese, where this feature is not included.

It will be in 3.7. The first beta of 3.6 is expected after a week.

Best Regards

Tony

Hi, sorry to drop in but I'd just like to say this is also the kind of feature I need from jqGrid. It would be great! Thanks for your efforts Tony.

gauthier, TheBit, have you seen this one yet: http://p.sohei.org/jquery-plugins/tablegroup/

It's jQuery-based. Perhaps it can be adapted as a jqGrid plugin.
