I don't know if this has been asked before but i am trying to setup grid in 1 vertical column. I don't want it going left to right i want all 5 groups to be in a list up and down. Is this possible.. i have gone through all the settings and can't find anything that would do this for me..

I have this exact same question..

I am working of a new version of GridLayoutPlus that should allow you to do that. Hopefully will be committed by this weekend.

from ej forums (im modify layout and add GridStatusGroupAndName)

You will add this code in the end of \Grid\GridLayoutLayouts.lua

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["25 Single Col"],
 {
		[1] = {	groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,WARRIOR,DRUID,WARLOCK,MAGE,ROGUE,PRIEST,SHAMAN,PALADIN,HUNTER", 
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "25",
                strictFiltering = true,
			    groupBy = "GROUP",
				groupingOrder = "1,2,3,4,5,WARRIOR,DRUID,WARLOCK,MAGE,ROGUE,PRIEST,SHAMAN,PALADIN,HUNTER",
			 },
	})

Install GridStatusGroupAndName addon

1. Grid -> Status -> Health: Turn off "use class color" for black bars.
Grid -> Status -> Unit Name: Turn on "use class color".
Grid -> Frame -> Center Text 1/2 -> GroupAndName to show group and names if they arent shown.

2. Grid -> Layout -> Advanced -> Frame Anchor -> Bottomleft should do the trick.

3. Grid -> Frame -> Horizontal/Vertical Frames.

Glad you like it. I plan on allowing you to have different settings for Raid, Battlegrounds, & Arena. Finally I'm going to work on a branch version of Grid to include it into the core.

Don't want to take anything away from the author of GridStatusGroupAndName but the mod is exactly the same as GridStatusName.lua that is included with Grid, the only difference is line 67:

	local text = name

changed to:

	local text = u.subgroup..":"..name

AND it doesn't include any localization support. Might be just as easy to just edit that line everytime you upgrade.

Having a hell of a time getting this setup to work out for me. Any ideas how to do this using the layout plus or a copy of the Grid lua with the coding placed in there would be most helpful :)

Install latest version of Grid.
Install latest version of GridLayoutPlus.
When in game and in a raid (you can test it in a quick battleground), right-click grid icon and go to Layout, and click Enable Dynamic Layout. Then go to Dynamic Settings and change the Units per Column to 25 or more.

Tried this on Thursday, and I could change the sorting. Also whenever I changed a setting with GridLayoutPlus, the columns would change to default again until changing setting to 25 per column again.
