Is there a way to group output in a query and keep the groups together, 
but with no order specified anywhere?

<cfquery>
Select myGROUP, mySubGROUP from myTABLE
<!---(NO ORDER BY)--->
</cfquery

I need output like:

1. myGROUP
    a. mySUBGOUP 1
    b. mySUBGOUP 2

2. myGROUP 2
    a. mySUBGOUP 1
    b. mySUBGOUP 2

If you just do the below, it doesn't keep the groups together since 
they're not together in the database...

<cfoutput group="myGROUP">
1. myGROUP
    a. mySUBGOUP 1
    b. mySUBGOUP 2
</cfoutput>

Outputs (depending on what's in the database)

1. myGROUP
    a. mySUBGOUP 1

2. myGROUP 2
    a. mySUBGOUP 1
    b. mySUBGOUP 2

1. myGROUP
    b. mySUBGOUP 2


If I add a ORDER to the query, it obviously works - but, the client 
doesn't WANT them in any order. He just wants the groups together.

I say you can't have it both ways. You have to have a sort order to keep 
the groups together.  Or is there a weird work around for this?


Yea - stupid I know, but clients want what they want...
