Can you control the xml? If so, I would put the information for the pairs of books together under a single node, then use a List with a custom Item renderer to display the data for the pair.

Overview: I want a datagrid, formed by data in an XML file, that displays things in 3 coloumns and 2 rows. The goal is to show 6 items. Example: I have 6 books, each has an author, title, and sales count. I want to display these 6 books in 2 rows and 3 columns, creating 6 spots for each book's image, and 3 text fields. Datagrid normally just displays 1 book per row, and then the columns are used for information like author, title and sales count. How can I create a datagrid and force it to look at the next XML item (book), while I'm still in the same row?
