  I am using the [`group`](https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/filters#group) filter to group like entries together. I need to be able to control which group is output first. How can I do this?

  Rather than changing the order of the actual array returned by the `group` filter, you can just assemble a new array that has the keys in the order you want:
  
  ```
  {# Get the grouped entries #}
  {% groups = entries|group('foo') %}
  
  {# Create an array of the group keys in the desired order #}
  {% set keys = ['foo']|merge(groups|keys|without('foo')) %}
  
  {# Now loop through the keys, rather than the groups directly #}
  {% for key in keys %}
  
      {# Get the group with this key #}
      {% set group = groups[key] ?? [] %}
  
      {# Loop through the entries #}
      {% for entry in group %}
          ...
      {% endfor %}
  
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  (Note that the `??` operator requires Craft 2.6.)
