Hi, I'm working on implementing a search capability in my application. Each 
result will have a category and subcategory associated with it, as well as the 
actual result data. Separate from this, I will know what order I want the 
categories and subcategories sorted in at the time, and can populate that to 
the search results.

I would like to present the results in an outline view so that the top level 
items are the categories (in order), and the second level items are the 
sub-categories (in order), and the actual results are detail rows. Sort of like 
what XCode 3 does with the project search, except two levels of categories 
rather than just file names.

Should I be implementing this using an NSArrayController and somehow getting it 
to do the sorting/grouping to produce the outline rows, or should I be looking 
at an NSTreeController and getting my results to generate a tree rather than a 
flat list?

Any suggestions on implementation would be welcome.

Thanks

Ken
