What would be preventing the Row Grouping option from displaying on the Display tab of a column? The table is a manual table type. I was reading Ticket 1906910 which mentioned the table had to be manual.
Unfortunately this website is not accessible from the internet.
Row grouping feature is only available for non-server-side tables.
So manual tables, mysql tables and tables that are created from the 3rd option in the table wizard are server side tables, and for server side tables row grouping feature is not available.
_____________________________________________
So, row grouping is not available with manual tables. You can only use this for tables linked to an existing data source:
Yeah, I agree, but the issue with it is that server side tables can have millions of rows. So the plugin would have to go through all those rows, and look for the values that would be used to convert into rows.
This would require a lot of time, memory and other resources, and that is why it hasn't been implemented yet.
If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.

Hey tnconnect
I am sorry, but you misunderstood what Bogdan was trying to say in that ticket. Here's what he said:

About row grouping:
As you can see from our documentation
Row grouping feature is only available for non-server-side tables.
So manual tables, mysql tables and tables that are created from the 3rd option in the table wizard are server side tables, and for server side tables row grouping feature is not available.

Yes, I did misunderstand. Thanks. This would be a nice feature though.
