I have a Custom Collection which i had to use in order to be able to use rich text, but there is a need for them to be group by the people related to the items. Is there any way or workaround that could be done for that? ---

How do you show that actual group headings though, like the other collection types? ![1000006305](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/9/79b57ea0f5ceb610ab0a55133a9946927279cc42.jpeg) ---

Oh, yea, right. Didn’t think about this… But I think it might still be possible with a conditional text component and custom CSS using HTML attributes in selectors. @Himaladin 🫣 ---

It might be more worthwhile to use consistent visual cues (like colors) to indicate related groups rather than trying to add headings for each group. Adding group headers would require manipulating layout and grid order, which becomes quite fragile in Custom Collections. This feels more like a structural limitation, so a feature request would probably be a better long-term solution.
