    Base Class
    GroupDescription

    Describes the grouping of items using a property name as the criterion.

    For example, the code below causes a CollectionView to group items by the value of their 'country' property:

    var cv = new wijmo.collections.CollectionView(items);
    var gd = new wijmo.collections.PropertyGroupDescription('country');
    cv.groupDescriptions.push(gd);
    

    You may also specify a callback function that generates the group name. For example, the code below causes a CollectionView to group items by the first letter of the value of their 'country' property:

    var cv = new wijmo.collections.CollectionView(items);
    var gd = new wijmo.collections.PropertyGroupDescription('country', 
      function(item, propName) {
        return item[propName][0]; // return country's initial
    });
    cv.groupDescriptions.push(gd);
