[QUOTE="tomeirik, post: 204227, member: 52966"] Hi, sorry for the vague title, but this problem needed a little explanation... I just started messing around with custom views in the database, and wanted a view that grouped my shows by who's watching them. So I added a field [I]WatchedBy[/I] in the [I]online_series[/I]-table, and used this view: [CODE]group:<Series.WatchedBy><;><;><;><nextStep>series<;><;><Series.Pretty_Name>;asc<;><nextStep>season<;><;><Season.seasonIndex>;asc<;><nextStep>episode<;><;><Episode.EpisodeIndex>;asc<;>[/CODE] Surprisingly enough, this worked without a hitch. Then I thought it would be fun if I could tag a series with two names, so both me and my brother could have the series in "our" group. I noticed that Genre is split up this way, one show with several genres. So I inserted "|Me|My brother|" in the WatchedBy-field of a show, but it doesn't get split up, only shows as a seperate group called "|Me|My brother|". Is there anyway I can make this work without altering the source code? Skimmed through some of the source-code, but couldn't find anything separating the Genre-field from other fields.
