The problem I'm having is the grouped grid view sizes all of its groups to the size of the first group as in the screenshot below:
I need the groups to have different widths to accomodate their children. In this case the second group should be wider and the third group should be narrower.
The code for the test app I wrote is as below:

<Grid Margin="100" Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
