This sample demonstrates how to group items in a ListView and how to use it with the SemanticZoom control.

It uses the List.createGrouped method to create a grouped version of a WinJS.Binding.List. Then it uses two ListView controls and a SemanticZoom to create separate zoomed-out and zoomed-in views of the data.

For more info about the concepts and APIs demonstrated in this sample, see these topics:

This sample is written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. For the XAML version, see the XAML grouped data controls sample.
