jQuery grouping plugin

Question

Is there any jQuery plugin that can group data - either list or table - based on my criteria?

For example:

$("table").grouping({column: 1});

or

$("ul li").grouping({getgroup: function(item) { 
   return $(item).text().substr(0, 10); }
});

Something like this. The point here is that I need to change group dynamically - for example, user clicks "group by column 2" and I call $("table").groupby({column: 2}) and table is re-structured (and orders are grouped by customer company instead of customer name).

Answer 1

Maybe you should have a look at the Tablesorter plugin for jQuery. It can at least fix your table sorting problem.

Answer 2

tableGroup (in combination with tablesorter?) seems to be doing what you want but also seems unmaintained

Answer 3

Now, jqGrid can do this - finally, oh yeah! So I change the answer.
