How to display a list starting with an offset?

trevor.bruner · 2020-05-24T19:29:55.816Z

Let’s say I have 100 items and I want to show this in 5 different columns. Column 1 has items #1 thru #20, Column 2 has items #21-#40 and so on…

I can create a repeating group to display the first 20. That’s just fine, but how can I create a repeating list that shows the next 20 items and so on?

If it matters, all the items in the repeating group have a “score” and they’re ranked by that score.

I just don’t want the user to scroll down thru 100 items when I think they can all be displayed in a single screen.

Have you tried setting the repeating group to show 20 rows and 5 columns?

@Szymon thanks! This is so much better and can work if necessary, but it’s not exactly what I’m looking for.

What you described shows the items listed as follows:

```
2.     3.    4.   5. 
```
```
7.     8.    9.  10.  
```
1. 1. 1. 15

I’d like the order be as follows:
1 4 7 10. 13
2. 5. 8 11. 14
3. 6. 9. 12. 15

Does that make sense?

@trevor.bruner it seems the only way to do what you’re trying to achieve is to have 5 RGs next to each other.

Set the first RG’s data source to Search for Thing:sorted by Score:items until 20
Set the second RG’s data source to Search for Thing:sorted by Score:items from 21:items until 40
and so on
