You could override how the grouping class does the actual grouping. Maybe by
overriding the refresh() method of GroupingCollection?
It uses sorting for efficiency in putting things together. You could also
write a custom compareFunction that knew everything would be titled Group XX
and just did a numeric compare on the XX portion?

All,
I discovered a frustrating feature of the ADG when using groupings...the
ADG automatically sorts the displayed data by the field you are grouping on. I
really, really need the ability to disable this as I am incorporating a
displayOrder option for my users to define what order they want the groupings
to appear in. The data is coming from my webservice based on the displayOrder
but once it gets populated in my ADG, it's re-ordered by the grouping.
So for example, I have 10 groups....named Group 1 through Group 10. And
each of the groups displayOrder is set to the same as the name...so the
displayOrder for Group 1 == 1, Group 2 == 2, ... , Group 10 == 10. But when
the ADG is rendered, it sorts them by the group names, which are strings, and
puts them out of the expected order...I get Group 1, Group 10, Group 2, etc.
This is a critical aspect for us and I really hope to find a solution to
this.
Best,
Adrian
