It would be great if you could implement 'group by' where you drag a column header to a pannel above the grid and the grid is redrawn with a row per group and a count - a la MS Outlook. These groups can then be expanded to display the items in the group. Multiple group by nesting would be perfect
:D

Example (ascii 'art'):

| ID | Name | Gender |
| 1 | Fred | Male |
| 2 | Bert | Male |
| 3 | Sally | Female |

If you grouped by Gender:

| ID | Name |
| Male (2) |
| Female (1) |

(N.B. Gender column removed from header )

Expanding Male group:
| ID | Name |
| Male (2) |
| 1 | Fred |
| 2 | Bert |
| Female (1) |

Expanding Female group:
| ID | Name |
| Male (2) |
| 1 | Fred |
| 2 | Bert |
| Female (1) |
| 3 | Sally |

Grouping is definitely on the list as I use it in the Grid I want to replace at work. Unfortunately, when it will be implemented is undecided right now. There are still a few things to be done before I get there.

Another vote for grouping into Grid on Ext 1.0. I know it exists for 2.0, if it could be ported over somehow, it would be an extremely joyous occasion!

1.x is feature complete. We will be supporting it and of course fixing bugs, but it's highly unlikely there will be any additional features added.
