Although DataTables doesn't have row grouping built-in (picking one of the many methods available would overly limit the DataTables core), it is most certainly possible to give the look and feel of row grouping.
In the example below the 'group' is the browser engine, which is based on the information in the first
column (set to hidden). The grouping indicator is added by the drawCallback
function, which will parse through the rows
which are displayed, and enter a grouping TR element where a new group is found.
