Does anyone know of any conditions that would prevent files from being grouped? I've been trying to select a number of files for grouping, and encountered no success. I've selected files in the same folder reference, different folder references [...]

While it is not clear from the UI, the project drawer really have two modes of operation. Eitehr you work exclusively with folder references, and TM will update these, and you can’t do anything wrt re-ordering, grouping, etc. Or you work with “static files”, i.e. drag each file individually to the project drawer, and you can freely order and group these.

Thanks, Allan. Any reason, programmatically speaking, that Textmate couldn't handle both file/folder references _and_ groupings? I've encountered quite a few instances in my most recent projects where this feature would be more than a little handy. Certainly one can work around it, though. Thanks for contributing a great product to the 'Maciverse'...!
