Let's say that you have a VBO view to allow users to manage their classifieds ads. To make it easier for the user, these ads are grouped by sold and unsold. When a users has many ads, we noticed that the same group by values are repeated more or less over the different pages.

For example:

page 1
SOLD
ad1
ad2

NOT SOLD
ad3
ad4

page 2
NOT SOLD
ad5
ad6
ad7

SOLD (so the value "SOLD" appears again, even though it was visible already on p1)
ad8
ad9

Is there somebody who knows why grouping values results in several groups with the same value?

The group by field is a CCK content taxonomy field.

Does that only happen in VBO or in Views in general?

We haven't tested this yet with views in general. It happens when selecting the Group By function under VBO.

Please test it with Views in general. I will not investigate this further until you do.

I have cloned the view but replaced VBO by table grid. The curious "group by" behaviour still occurs. So I probably post this issue in the views queue.
