Question

I have built a view of my document library where the items are grouped by a couple of columns. It is set to display 3 groups per page, and display items in batches of 10. In the Library, this works as expected - each page has 3 groups, and any group with more than 10 items has its own paging control that is only visible when that group is expanded:

But, when I try to put a List View Web Part on a page with this view, it behaves quite differently - the "groups per page" value seems to be completely ignored, and the outer paging control (which should page through every 3 groups) shows batches of 10, and applies to the items inside the groups, resulting in some really bizarre-looking group count indicators:

As you can see, the "No" group of 17 items shows me 4 of them, and the "Yes" group of 13 items shows me 6 of them. Then, when I click to the next page, it appears as though this DC/Area has only "Yes" items:

I've checked, and double-checked, and everything is definitely set exactly the same between the Library view and the view of the Web Part.

How do I fix this?

Solution

This occurs when "Enable Asynchronous Update" is selected in the List View Web Part. Instead of editing the view of the Web Part, you need to edit the Web Part Properties. Under AJAX Options, uncheck this box:

Once you do that, your Web Part will start behaving properly on the page:

OTHER TIPS

I found the same behavior in SP 2013 that whenever any of the asynchronous update options were enabled in the web part settings on that view that the groupings were ignored. I had to disable the asynchronous load options and the option to Show Manual Refresh Button because if you have the refresh button checked then when you hit apply or save it will automatically turn asynchronous updates back on. Turning off all the options under the AJAX Options in the previous picture restored my groups to filtering properly.
