@GabeIsman I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the actual list of returned orgs. I see that collection is used all over, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get to the data within that object ( specificity so I can rearrange to group by state ). I thought I had a better grip on how you had abstracted things, but I got lost in the layers, ha.

@thequbit So Backbone mixes underscore collection handling methods right into the collection. So you can do collection.groupBy('state') and you'll get and object like { AL: [...], AK: [...],... }. See http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html#section-146.

Alternately if you want to be more explicit, collection.models is just the array of model objects.
