1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

  • displaying a first zoom level view including a first list of scrollable items in a user interface on a display device;

    detecting provision of an input, at a location over one scrollable item of the first list of scrollable items in the user interface on the display device, to replace the first zoom level view with a second zoom level view that includes a second list of scrollable items in which at least one of the items in the second list represents a group of items in the first list that includes the one scrollable item of the first list of scrollable items;

    while continuously detecting the input, replacing the displayed first zoom level view with the second zoom level view in the user interface such that the at least one of the items in the second list aligns with the detected location of the input in the user interface on the display device while provision of the input continues, wherein the alignment is one of left-alignment, center-alignment or right-alignment; and

    in response to detecting that provision of the input has ceased, displaying the second zoom level view without aligning the at least one items in the second list at the detected location of the input in the user interface by animating the second list such that the one of the items in the second list aligns with the left edge of the screen, wherein the input is a pinch gesture.
