Group by field using jQuery

Question

Say I didn't want to use the Group By option in an out of the box view to group my list by a certain field.

Is there a way to achieve this using jQuery, JavaScript or something other front-end code?

Just curious... What is the reason you don't want to use the native Group By ? — JayHell, Jul 10 '15 at 13:43
It's a custom web part that aggregates data and was written a long time ago. They want to group the data like the out of the box web parts do. — spex5, Jul 10 '15 at 13:56

You can use JSLink which comes with every SharePoint List. This enables you to render content using your own code. Try this post for a complete guide on JSLink and this for grouping content.

Hope this helps you to start in the right direction.

Wait. Isn't JSLink only a SP 2013 thing? I'm working with 2010. – spex5 Jul 10 '15 at 11:42
Maybe XSLT is the way to go? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff606773(v=office.14).aspx – spex5 Jul 10 '15 at 11:47
Oh, I thought it was for 2013. Tough luck. – Tanmay Jul 10 '15 at 11:52
