Question

I asked this question last week on the Fogbugz discussion group, but have yet to receive an answer.

Does anyone have a list of which columns are groupable when used as a sort for a filter? For example, if I sort by Category, then I get two distinct grid views, one for Bugs and one for Features. However, if I sort by tag, version, etc. I do not get this separation.

Answer 1

This design decision was before my time, so alas- I knowest not. I imagine that any value chosen from a pre-defined set, such as project name, status, priority, category, milestone, etc., should group. Likewise, I imagine that any free value, such as title, version, computer, text-based custom fields, backlog ordering, etc., should not.

Following that logic, tags immediately stand out as something that would not group but probably should. That, as least, I'll submit as a bug.

Sorry I couldn't be more explicit.

Answer 2

This is the answer I posted on the discussion board the day after you posted this question here:

This is a list I got from the code:

            Case 1, 101:
                    sGroupByName = "fOpen"
            Case 3, 103:
                    sGroupByName = "sProject"
            Case 4, 104:
                    sGroupByName = "sArea"
            Case 5, 105:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPersonOpenedBy"
            Case 6, 106:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPersonAssignedTo"
            Case 7, 107:
                    sGroupByName = "sStatus,fOpen"
            Case 8, 108:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPriority"
            Case 11, 111:
                    sGroupByName = "ixFixFor"
            Case 12, 112:
                    sGroupByName = "sCategory"
            Case 15, 115:
                    sGroupByName = "ixGroup"
            Case 16, 116:
                    sGroupByName = "ixGroup"
            Case 25, 125:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPersonResolvedBy"
            Case 30, 130:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPersonClosedBy"
            Case 31, 131:
                    sGroupByName = "ixPersonLastEditedBy"
