How to display multiple nested lists on a Visualforce page?

I need to display a list of child objects related to a master record, each with a list of child objects, and some fields across both levels need to be available for inline editing.
The structure is as follows:
  • Master record (only passes the ID as reference to the controller for SOQL query)
  • List of child objects Child__c with a lookup to Master__c, each with a 
  • List of child objects of Child__c, Grandchild__c, with a lookup to Child__c
I have no experience with nested lists in VF, any advice how to go about this one would be greatly appreciated.
 
I was thinking of a wrapper class, but how would I go about implementing nested lists in a wrapper class as they need to be ordered?
The query on the controller side pulls out the following:
SELECT Id, Name, Master__c, Quantity__c, Price__c, (SELECT Id, Name, Quantity__c FROM Grandchildren__r) FROM Child__c WHERE Master__c = :MasterId

Save button would update both lists...
