You can create dynamic hierarchies by grouping elements
in a tree structure according to the available attribute values in
the view. When you group elements according to an attribute, each
unique value is displayed as a temporary folder, and all of the elements
with that value are displayed in that folder. Elements that do not
have that attribute are displayed in the "-" folder. The selected
group order is user-specific and is saved when the you exit the tree
display mode.
