Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the RowGroup and SearchBuilder interfaces, then clarify the desired column-grouping controls and expected behavior with the maintainers. No completion criteria are defined yet.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

1st, this is not a bug, but just checking if anyone (or the dev team) has even built a custom UI display
that allows the end-user the ability to choose the grouping (similar to SearchBuilder but less complex)

In my case, I'm using Ajax objects that way the sorting extensions still work
