Grouping in a ListView

[Toby]

Hi,
What is the best way to group by a field in a ListView?
I'd like to have something along the lines of this

Species: Human
1: Toby
2: Rob
Species: Dog
3: Harry
4: Rover
Species: Cat
5: Tickles

The model schema is as below
ID  Name  Species
1  Toby  Human
2  Rob  Human
3  Harry  Dog
4  Rover  Dog
5  Tickles  Cat

<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
    <div class="person">
        <div class="id">#:ID#</div>
        <div class="name">#:Name#</div>
    </div>
</script>

<div id="persons">

    @(Html.Kendo().ListView<Person>()
    .Name("persons")
    .TagName("div")
    .ClientTemplateId("template")
    .DataSource(ds => ds
        .Model(m => m.Id(p => p.ID))
        .Read(r => r.Action("PersonsRead", "Home"))
        .Group(g => g.Add(p => p.Species))
        )
)

I managed to get as far as the above, but this throws an error as it is passing the Species field and value to the client template from the Group method.
Any ideas?

Hello Toby,

I'm afraid that the ListView widget doesn't support binding to grouped DataSource.

Is this still unimplemented? I do notice that the MobileListView does allow this: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mobile-listview/templates

 Looking to do this in the ListView though - no mobile desired.

Hello Paul,

The Web ListView doesn't support grouping yet. You can submit this as a feature request on UserVoice, so that it is considered for implementation in a future release.
