I am looking to configure Grid2 so that I can show my group first, and rest of the groups sorted by group number after that. So for example if I am in group #3, the sorted frames will be like 3, 1, 2, 4 in a 20 man raid. And also having the option to show myself first in my group would be nice as I don't use player unit frame and do every healing from my raid frames, it would really help to see myself at the same place all the time. As far as I can tell, I can't create a layout that can achieve this since there is no value to say which one is the user's group number while sorting.

I just saw that issue #606 was declined and my enhancement issue includes this request.

Grid2 calls Blizzard SecureGroupHeaders code to manage the unit frames position, unfortunately the blizzard code does not allow the requested  behavior.

https://github.com/tomrus88/BlizzardInterfaceCode/blob/master/Interface/FrameXML/SecureGroupHeaders.lua

That could by done reimplementing all that blizzard code, the problem is that non blizzard code cannot move the unit frames in combat (its a game protection against healing bots addons), so implementing this, Grid2  will crash if some player is changed, added or removed to/from the raid in the middle of a combat.

I see, so it is either the way you're doing it and it can update frames while in combat, or the way VuhDo/HealBot doing and they can't update the frames correctly while in combat if someone joins or leaves.
