Ok, I figured out how to create a select where the key is different from the value using a custom field, and I figured out how to group listings by that field, but I can't find how to theme it properly.  I really have no idea why it puts the select in the body and how to get it out of there and I don't know how to tell the grouping headers to display the full name instead of the abbreviation - it clearly has the data because it's displaying it in the body (to my dismay), but I've output pretty much every object, array and variable that I can find a reference to but it's not anywhere.  The closest I've come is a long string that contains all keys and values separated by a | which is exactly how you put it into the values field.

I have (wrong parts in red for those html viewers):
PA NY CA

PA

NY

etc.

But need more like:

PA NY CA

Pennsylvania

  • Harrisburg, PA

    Contact: sander

    Phone: 917.676.0425

New York

  • Brooklyn, New York

    Contact: Alina

    Phone: 212.555.1212

     

  • New York, NY

    Another NY listing

I know I asked this as part of a bigger question before but got no responses.  I'm hoping someone can point me to how/where I can access and customize this info.  All the documentation I have read so far has not helped with this (and I've been reading a lot - I'm not just expecting this group to be my manual).

Thanks so much
