Can Field Collection Views be used to group items?

I am using Field Collection + Field Collection Views to create an event programme. Field Collection items have multiple dates on them, and I want to be able to group these items by the date. Using Field Collection Views I can already sort these items by date, but not group them.

Real world example: A music festival runs over 3 days. Band A is added as one Field Collection Item, and is playing on Friday 2pm and Saturday 8pm. Band B is playing on Saturday 3pm and Sunday 10am.

The multiple field settings on the date is unchecked, so that my list has 4 items, not just the two bands.
Using the Sort By Filter, my list looks as such:

- Friday 2pm / Band A
- Saturday 3pm / Band B
- Saturday 8pm / Band A
- Sunday 10am / Band B

Which is a perfect start. But, now I want to be able to have an additional Date field that can group these items by the day, so that my list can look like:

Friday
- 2pm / Band A
Saturday
- 3pm / Band B
- 8pm / Band A
Sunday
- 10am / Band B

I have tried using the standard grouping style with the date field, but the date is repeated at the top of each item.

Is this at all possible yet?

I'm closing it because the issue was created a long time ago without any further steps.

if you still need it then raise a new one.
thanks
