Grouping records in Access 2010 subform in Datasheet View

I know this can be done, but I don't remember how:

I need to group records in a subform in datasheet view, so that records with the same value in the grouping field will be displayed as one with the 'plus' sign to expand the containing records.

I tried doing it by SQL group by in the recordsource property, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

The disadvantages of using SubDatasheets are:
1. They give your users direct, *Unlimited* access to the Raw table.
This means they can do whatever they like (Delete Record/Fields, change table properties, ...etc)
:-O

2. They are a drag on performance:

Did you note the disadvantages of using this approach...?
