Header Line Per ALV group of items in GRID not LIST.

Question

Hello Experts,
My question may seem very basic but i am stuck with it.
I am using ALV Grid function (REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY) to display my ALV.
Example Case :
I have 10 line items .
1)     2 line items are sports.
2)     2 line items are books.
3)     2 line items are Mobiles.
My ALV displays like this :
No.    Object     Object Type
1)       Ball          sports
2)       Bat          sports
3)     Maths        Books
4)     History      Books
5)     Nokia         Mobiles
6)     Samsung   Mobiles
And i want it like this :
No.     Object
Sports <---- I want this to act as header per line item .
1)        Ball
2)        Bat
Books
3)       Maths
4)       History
Mobiles
5)       Nokia
6)       Samsung.
I.e i need a row stating Object Type IN ALV Grid similar to how we make use of AT NEW EVENT in LIST REPORT.
Thanks in Advance,
Sudeep.

Hi,
If GRID is a 'MUST' requirement, then you can try preparing your internal table in the manner you want the output.
Something like this:
- Sort the output internal table.
- Loop on the output int table.
- Use AT NEW object type
- Append Object Type into another internal table
- Then read rest of the records with same object type into another internal table and appending the same.
Not sure about the efficieny but you can try.
