I think one of the idea would be to add 2 new properties year and month
to your Item model. No need to add them to the table actually ( I have a
little doubt if this would work but worth trying. ). Then set these 2
properties in the __contruct() of the model.

public function __contruct() {
	$this->setYear($this->getDate()->format('Y'));
	$this->setMonth($this->getDate()->format('m'));
}

Then using the f:groupedFor [1] you can easily group your objects first
with the year and then month by nesting f:groupedFor

Thanks,
Pankaj
