That sounds pretty complicated. For an end-user wouldn't this result in confusing and unexpected behavior? In other words, if they unselected all of the check boxes wouldn't they expect to see nothing?

If the side effect is that coming to the screen results in only the top form showing, I'd say that's fine (yes, there is an issue with checkboxes since you can't tell if the user explicitly unchecked the box).

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

Initially the default behavior of the Picking screen was to group orders by shipping method and user does not have any choice to select any other grouping method. With the introduction of additional grouping methods like grouping by Warehouse Area and Number of Order Items, I tried to keep the same behavior of the screen, that is if user does not select any option then system will still show the grouping based on shipping method. The Group by Shipping Method checkbox will be checked automatically on Submit in this case.

The reason of adding explicitly an option No Grouping on this screen is that it will serve following purpose:

1. The default behavior of the screen will be preserved. If user does not select any option it still defaults to shipping method.
2. User can select No Grouping explicitly.
3. Any selection made by the user other than No Grouping method will be cleared by just clicking on No Grouping checkbox. Similarly if No Grouping was selected, it will be cleared if user try to select any other grouping method (Shipping Method, Warehouse Area and Number of Order Items). This part is not implemented yet but the idea is to keep this something like select all checkbox on multi form while making it explicitly clear to the user that he can also go with No Grouping.

Also in future this screen can be extended to add few more grouping methods so the way it is done would work nicely, IMO.

How is the "No Grouping" option different from just not selecting any
grouping options?
