Dan, functionality group by TAG in Media and Layout in version 1.8 has been removed?
Hi Laercio,
By default the tag column is hidden, but you can show it (click on the ‘Column visibility’ and then ‘Tags’.)
Hello Peter,
I had seen the column still exists, but what is asked about the feature group by tag.
Yes the functionality has been removed - or rather it has not been replicated, which amounts to the same thing I suppose.
As you know 1.7 always loaded the entire dataset of Layouts and then paged them on the client side in the browser. This caused significant problems for you and others whereby the time it took to return that list from the server increased as the number of layouts increased.
This approach did make it trivial to group by tag, because all of the layouts where already there in the list.
1.8 is massively different because only the records required for the current page are returned, which should mean that the delays you experienced before disappear. This means that the client only has 10 records (default page size) to work with - meaning that any grouping would need to occur server side, and be significantly harder to achieve.
The “grouping” is very similar to sorting by Tag, so perhaps we can achieve some sort of row grouping using something like this: https://www.datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/row_grouping.html
