Grouping by field data

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. It’s great to hear that you’ve taken all the points into account. I’m eagerly awaiting the opportunity to move some of my complex projects from Airtable to Baserow.

Additionally, if you need any assistance in testing, discussing, or demonstrating user cases related to the ‘group by’ feature, I am more than willing to help in any way I can.

Thanks, we appreciate your support @Alexander :pray:

Hey @Alexander, thank you once again for the comprehensive feedback on group by!

We’ve discussed your ideas that are not yet in our pipeline, and here are the updates:

#4: Placement of group titles
We plan to introduce an option that allows our users to select how they prefer groups to be stacked - vertically or horizontally. Refer to this issue for more details: Horizontal stack group by mode (#2436) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab

#5: Freezing the Primary field:
As I mentioned before, we plan to add the ability to freeze columns in general, and we have also added a point to this issue to make it work with the group by function as well: Pin/freeze columns in a table (#1953) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab

#8: Group By to work with Formula and Relation fields:

#9: Changing orders in a grouping by setting
Yes! For both groups and filters, we plan to make it possible to change orders using drag and drop: Change order of group by (#2434) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab

#10: Manual sorting (notion like)
We love this idea, and and will make it possible to manually sort the order of groups in ‘group by’: Manual sorting of groups order in group by (notion like) (#2435) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab

All your requests have been accepted. Thank you for helping us improve Baserow. :raised_hands:

Hi, Olga! Any updates on when could be these points get ready?

Hi @Alexander, all these issues have different priorities, which you can view in the Weight field:

Issues are sorted by weight here, from highest to lowest priority: https://gitlab.com/baserow/baserow/-/issues/?sort=weight_desc&state=opened&label_name[]=accepted%20📆&first_page_size=20. Make sure you have Weight selected here:

After using this workaround, how can I have temporary group sums?

@olgatrykush Hi, Olga!
I just wanted to kindly remind about this topic. I’m eager to migrate my projects from Airtable to Baserow, but without this functionality, my team might not have all the tools they need to work effectively. Points 1-8 are especially crucial for the migration, while points 9 and 10 are not as urgent.

I’ve checked GitLab, and as I understand, these points haven’t reached a stage of active development yet. If possible, could you discuss with the development team about raising their priority? I feel like these are the features that make Airtable and Notion so appealing, and it would be great to see them fully realized in Baserow as well.

Hey @Alexander, due to the high volume of requests and new feature ideas, we can’t significantly reprioritize features right now. To be honest, I don’t expect all features 1-8 to be released this year. Unfortunately, some of them have a low priority, and this is unlikely to change much.

Anyway, I’ll discuss your request with the team.

Ok! Thanks for answering) I’ll keep my fingers crossed to see it as soon as possible!
