There are two group options, first you can group objects together so that they can be moved as one object on the design. Second you can add items to a stack panel which will stack fields underneath each other. The stack panel can be useful if you need to list database fields but some of them may be blank, the stack panel will not include the blank entries and will just stack the fields with content. You can select multiple objects by holding down the shift key and clicking on the required objects.

Objects can be rotated clockwise/counterclockwise from the rotate menu, you can also click on the marker above the selected object and drag it to rotate it as well as set a specific rotation angle under the properties window.
