I've noticed that when a grouped ListGrid gets some changes on the group field values, eventually as a response for ListGrid.updateData(), those changes are not reflected into the grouping. In other words the updated records are not moved from the previous group to the new one.
I've originally reproduced it using a dated SmartGWT 4.0p nightly build (SmartClient Version: v9.0p_2014-01-05/LGPL Development Only (built 2014-01-05)) but also on the actual SmartClient showcase.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE in SmartClient showcase
1. replace dynamicGrouping.js tab contents at Dynamic Grouping example with the following contents
2. select a record in the grid
3. click on the Move selected country to Mu Continent button
you should see how the selected record Continent field changes to Mu, but it remains in the old group
Follows a screenshot showing the United states record with Continent set to Mu, but still in the North America group.
