I got it ... well , sort of :

* {$Group}
-> (:pagelist group={$Group} fmt=#title :)

(:pagelist fmt=#group group=-{$Group} :)

Gives me almost what I need : what I get here is
1- current group on top
2- pages of the current group are indented
3 - all other groups come after.

What I would like now is that the order of the groups stays the
default one ( alphabetical ) and the current group is exploded . I
guess I need a custom format ;  it would have to change the formatting
if $Group is hit ... could someone tell me how to change the
formatting and then set it back ? ( if possible )

TIA
