POST Request in JQuery

Hey people, just had a small doubt regarding the ajax POST to a controller.... Basically my end result would be a list of data in grouped format, which might look something like this...

Time : 09:45 AM Saturday
Data1
Data2
Data3

Time : 11:15 AM Saturday
Data4
Data5
Data6

So basically I want a group header above each sorted list of data.... The above example shows that I want a Time Header on top of each sorted list... Similary there will be Room No, Alaphabets, etc.... I am planning to pass/post a key value something like a "Time" or "Room" or "Alpha"... This will be posted to the Controller, the Controller will take an action on the passed value.. I will fire a LINQ Query and show the result on the View...

So is it possible to get/fetch the entire sorted cum grouped list of data directly in my JQuery function and then display it on the view? I don't know whether my above mentioned information would make sense to you or not... But please let me know. Thanks

From the controller try to return the data in the format for JSON. So that you can process it easily in the jquery side.

public ActionResult GroupedData()
{
var result = new { data= LINQ QUERY TO GROUP + SORT THE DATA};
return Json(result, "data", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
