GROUP BY
The Complete Window Library has a variety of Group By toggle buttons similar to the Data-Grid that allow you to group windows by various headings, such as Grouping By Manufacturer, Frame Type, Glass Type or Window Opening Style. Selecting these toggles creates a tree where Window Specifications get added under these various headings. These Group By buttons are configurable in order of when they are added so you could customise the tree by selecting your preferred group by buttons in order.
