Grouped table
How this page is built
the gem renders it — this is all you write
Grouping is a render-time arrangement, like the layout. Add group_by: :publisher — the gem orders by the group key, splits the rows into collapsible groups (chevron in the header) and shows a per-group count. With 120 books, groups start collapsed beyond config.group_collapse_threshold (default 50), opening only the first; the open ones live in ?open=, so a half-expanded view is copy-pasteable.
