Yes, it's possible, but you need a few extra variables to store the
"current" grouped value and a CFIF tag or two.

Basically, you need to store the first grouped value in a temp variable.
If the next value is the same as what you stored, you don't output it.
You keep doing this until you get to a different value.  Then, you store
that new value and display it.  Rinse and repeat.

I had to build a pretty complicated "grid" recently.  I started with a
simple array that held my base values, then, I took a few extra steps to
add bits of information to that array in the proper locations.

Once I had that array completely built, all I had to do was loop over it
and simply output everything.  Maybe something like that would make
sense for you?

Subject: Grouped output with cfloop?

Is there any way to do grouped query output using cfloop?  Reason is
that I use a switch/case statement for my page, and wrap the entire
thing in a cfoutput tag to make my code more readable.  I would like to
do something like:

<cfoutput query="foo" group="groupcolumn"> <h1>#groupcolumndata#</h1>
<cfoutput> #blah# </cfoutput> </cfoutput>

But I would like to do it with cfloop or some other technique.  Is this
possible?

Thanks

Pete
