Not only would I like control over the group order (like from this thread https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/1523636-need-to-be-able-to-have-more-control-over-the-order-of-groups-in-the-kendo-grid-sort-on-the-text-is-insufficient), it would be awesome if we could sort groups themselves.
I understand that the current set up sorts children within groups but not the groups themselves. However, sorting within and between groups is a bit more intuitive to the user when they see visually-grouped information and try to sort on it => most of our users expect the groups to get sorted as well.
Although I can write my own sorting functionality, it can get out of hand quickly with ascending/descending, numeric vs alphabetic columns, and multi-sort vs single sort, but KendoReact already has the capability to sort in these three ways with its non-grouped grid functionality.
