"""
We show here how to group elements that are themselves groups. Actually, there
is nothing special to do as compared to the example in which we group elements,
but this is comforting to see how it works.

To illustrate grouping, we create here 4 groups of 10 buttons :
1) In the first group, buttons are randomly positionned.
2) In the second group, buttons are vertically sorted.
3) In the third group, buttons are horizontally sorted.
4) In the fourth group, buttons are sorted in 2x5 grid.

At the end, we group the 4 group inside a big group, that is used as the root
of all the app's elements.

Note that instead of grouping elements inside an invisible parent (tp.make_group),
it is also fine to directly put the elements inside another visible element,
such as tp.Box.

For details about how to sort elements, see the examples devoted to sorting.
