I'm trying to use a group field to show a list of pages instead of hosts.
Is there a method to do this?  I've been reading the man pages but not
seeing it thus far after testing.  Any thoughts?

Hi Josh,

There's no direct way to group the pages when they're displayed on the
same page, since they're constructed "in reverse" from whatever is
pointing back to that page.

For large and complex organization of pages, I've found using the
"subparent" tag to build an actual page chain for people to drill down
into can help.
