Would it be possible to create menu links for the "group by" fields. For example, if I have a list of places and I want the menu to be

California
- Place A
- Place B
Delaware
- Place C
- Place D

so the Places would be the nodes and California, Delaware etc. would be states (CCK fields) by which to sort the nodes.

Not in the current module, I think that the handling of group by fields tends to pretty hacky, so I don't want to go down that route with this module...

One approach might to try to build the first level using one view, and then the second level another view, passing in the State as an argument, but VBM doesn't support that feature at the moment, and won't unless someone adds it.

Hi,

Just wanted to bump this feature request again. Even if not using the actual group by feature of views (though surely the SQL one) having an option in the menu settings which would allow to transform a view that returns.

State Place Person
======= ====== =======
California - Place A - Person A
California - Place B - Person B
California - Place B - Person C

Allow to specify "1st level menu : State" and "2nd level menu : Place" would create the menu :

California
- Place A
- Person A
- Place B
- Person B
- Person C

And.... that would be very cool and very useful... And more user friendly than having to build 2 views.

Cheers,

Jun.

I would find this request very useful. I've been searching for a way to build an archive view/menu like the following example and have not had much success:
