Categories create structure—groups reveal relationships. This React grouped combobox uses CommandGroup with heading prop organizing technologies by Frontend and Backend categories. Built with shadcn/ui Command and Popover featuring labeled groups that maintain visual hierarchy and Object.entries mapping for dynamic group rendering. The grouped pattern helps users navigate categorized data—perfect for technology stacks, team structures, product catalogs, document types, or anywhere items naturally cluster into semantic categories making large option lists scannable through logical organization rather than alphabetical chaos.
