The only workaround for a custom collection is to create separate collections for each group, but that becomes difficult if you have a lot of groups or dynamic groups that you can’t predict.

I have scores in the player table that wanted to group by date. Scores get entered in the app on a daily basis and the competition takes 6 months - not an option to me.

hi @Darko_Vukoje  
Check out this post from @Darren_Murphy. You sound like you’d benefit from creating a dashboard like what he showed in his video:

(Normally I’d say put that column in your User Profiles table, but I think your App doesn’t require sign in, yes?) In each of the tables that you want to search, add the following columns: – A single value column, that fetches the search term from the Home Screen table – Now, lets assume you have a Na…
