Drag 'n Drop Column-Header(s) to group column(s) and populate grouping rows data

[fletchsod-developer]

Posting new issue here from Tony Tomov's GitHub jqGrid at tonytomov#459

This is a low priority enhancement request since you're busy improving/fixing the forked jqGrid.

When things settle down, then what would be so nice to see is this jqGrid having new features that is becoming more common now. Right now jqGrid doesn't have built-in components to drag column(s) to grid header box at top, to generate grouping rows data result below. If you can find a way to include "Group By" section in column chooser dialog then that would be great too. Alternatively, we write some overhead of coding & confusing HTML, CSS, & JQuery scripts as workaround to it (it is becoming such a pain to maintain when upgrading newer jqGrid versions).

Would be nice to add a new option to jqGrid (jqGrid option such as colModel, gridview, caption, autoWidth, groupingView, etc.) to make this magic happen and jqGrid do all of the work behind the scene (built-in). :-)

:-( But understandable.
