[Grok-dev] batching view

[Christian Klinger]

Hello,

if you want to display your data in a tabular fashion, i
recommed you to look on a package called z3c.table. [1]

This package allows you to do nearly everything related to tables.
(Sorting, Batching, ...).

If you need an examples howto deal with z3c.table it in grok, i can 
paste you some examples.
