Latex output generated using Doxygen does not support nested groups (defgroup within a defgroup)

I have been trying to find a way to retain the hierarchy of groups (defgroup defined within a defgroup) in a PDF generated using LaTeX files (generated using Doxygen). For example, if I use:

/** @defgroup group3 The Third Group
 *  This is the third group
 */

/** @defgroup group4 The Fourth Group
 *  @ingroup group3
 *  Group 4 is a subgroup of group 3
 */

I expect the "The Fourth Group" to appear under the "The Third Group" in the PDF. For example:

1.2 The Third Group
1.2.1 The Fourth Group

It is important to note that the HTML output preserves the hierarchy. But in PDF, both the groups appears at the same hierarchy under "Module Documentation". For example:

1.2 The Third Group
1.3 The Fouth Group

Do we have a workaround/possible fix for the issue? Because of the issue, I am not able to ship the PDF file, generated using Doxygen, to my customers.
