Even if one the favourite mantras here is "look for an existing module", in this case I would consider implementing my own solution. Depending on your constraints/priorities, you could implement each group as an array with references to the elements belonging to it, or add to each element an array of references to the groups it belongs to, or put all couples (\$group, \$element) in an array. It shouldn't take that long, and probably less than finding and customizing the module you are looking for.

I'd be glad to suggest more specific solutions, but I have problems figuring out some elements from your post. For instance, do you have deeper nesting levels, is the table you are talking about a relational database table?
