Grid: Collapsed groups should give space to the following records
It would be nice to be able to configure the grid in a way that when I collapse a group, the lines it was occupying are then filled up by the results from the following pages.

Kendo Grid currently only minimizes the results of the current page. It ignores the pageSize config we have set, not bringing more items to occupy the number of lines we have configured.

Here are some screenshots I took from the DevExpress grid. There you can see that the column year is grouped and initially the years 90 and 91 are expanded. When I collapse the year 90, the results from the year 91 fill up the space the other group was not using anymore.

Hello, Erwin,

Thank you for your comments on the matter.

Currently the feature is not yet planned for implementation, but we will check our roadmap to see if we can schedule the item for a later release. Please keep following the thread for further updates.

I think the principal problem is that the Telerik Grid by default does paging before grouping. While there may be valid reasons for this such as performance or legacy compatibility, from my experience the users expect that paging is done after grouping. Paging before grouping leads to all kinds of unexpected effects, also some risk that the user misinterprets the presented data.

IMHO the grid and the related server infrastructure (asp.net wrappers etc) should have a switch to allow grouping before paging. When interactive grouping is allowed, changing the grouping should then dynamically reload the required additional data as needed.

Paging should always be the last operation since it is not a logical data operation such as sorting, filtering and grouping but merely a means of presentation (limitation of screen estate).

Totally agree.  When using paging, the grouping is largely useless.  Would really like this feature.
