Column Layout based on Asset Groups

Hi


I'm trying to display the results of an asset list in two columns, but for the results to be in columns of the groups - not the results.



Example:

Group1 Group2

Result1 Result1

Result2 Result2

Result3



Group3

Result1



and so on…



As far as I know, the Column Layout screen will display the results in two columns based on the assets as follows:

Group1

Result1 Result2



Group2

Result1 Result2

Result3





I've tried use CSS to float the groups and this works if the groups all have the same height, but as soon as the groups have differing heights, everything gets thrown out of place.



Any idea if/how this can be achieved?



I expect no two groups to have the same amount of results, but each will be only one line since it is just links to PDF's and such.



edit: if needed I might add a few pics since the extra spaces between the listing get taken out when posting.

I've often found that instead of using the grouping options provided by the asset listing you can use javascript to achieve the same result and have a little more control over how the listing gets split. Something like this might help:

The issue you have might also be simply solved solely with CSS, perhaps a min-height on the columns or clearing floats properly on the container.

OMG thats a sexy link. Exactly what I was trying to achieve but I didn't know how to do it with JavaScript.



Thank you very much!
