There are a couple of things to bear in mind:

(:wikilist:) displays the name, not the full name, so if
you have one list that combines several groups, there will 
be several lines referring to "00001".

Um, did you know you can write (:wikilist group=Group1:)
to generate a list of items from a different group? So 
just set up a page with

(:wikilist group=Group1:)

(:wikilist group=Group2:)

and so on. This requires no new code.



If you want to merge them into a single multi-group list,
that will be more difficult. Because of the way it retrieves
and sorts pages, I suspect you may have to scrap the wikilist 
code and start again. You'd have to wrap the whole thing
in a 'for each group' loop and add a groupname to the front
of every sort. Possible, but very messy.

You say "together on 1 page" so it depends whether you mean 
together = in the same list or together = on the same page.
