Would you mind to tell me if this plugin does dynamic grouping?
How to create sorting by count of matches?
Hey everyone! I have list of userā¦ Each user has the list of interests. I want to display to RG the of users who has at least one match and sort it by count of matches. Finding users with matches is done (I used the intersect ā¦ :count) , but I canāt figure out how to sort it, please help me!
Thanks!
This is a common problem in bubble that there are easy-ish code solutions for but that Iāve not published an explicit plugin for.
But List Shifter can help you with this, if you want to get down in it. See:
Thank you. I tried, but I really canāt understand how to do that for my case. Could you describe it a little bit, please?

Thereās explanation of my case.
@keith Hi, iāve come across a real head-scratcher on my app:
List shifter is iterating over a list, as per usual, but for some reason on this particular page, itās stopping at the second item, not iterating over the entire list. Have you seen this happen before? what can i do?
Hereās my workflow:
Iāve verified the list has more than 2 items, and that the iterate event is getting triggeredā¦ but it just updates the index on items 1 & 2, but not the remaining items in the list 
Well, whatās going on in the console?
Well, yes.
okay, thanks, iāll remove it tomorrow and check it out 
I have removed the plugin from the page, my console doesnāt show that error anymore, just itās still not working, and I canāt seem to find the option in list shifter that prints the logs to consoleā¦ is that a setting somewhere iām missing? - Coulda swore that was a feature at one point 
My console now:
Are you sure youāre not trying to fire Begin Iterate before List Shifter is fully initialized?
fairly certain, even added a pause in my workflow:
FYI i have quite a few other listshifters on this page, all of which work greatā¦ its weird. Think iām gonna try deleting this one and using another one
Okay Update! Iāve tried replacing and deleting and rebuilding the workflows, no effect.
But i just found something very interesting: The other listshifter i thought was working properly, apparently it isā¦ up to two list items 
Furthermore, it seems both listshifters arenāt āseeingā anymore items to work with because they even fire the āwhen listshifter iteration is completedā action successfully after the 2 items, even though iāve confirmed thereās more than just 2 items in the list theyāre pointing tooā¦ This is weirdd, iām at a brick wall here 
Oh and also, it must be fully initialized before i fire it, since itās running through part of the list? wouldnāt it just flat-out not work if it didnāt finish initializing?
Not necessarily, because Bubble. But you could rule that out by examining the Initialized output in your workflow (drop Debug Buddy in there and write The List Shifter in Questionās Initialized to the console). Not being able to see your project I canāt really offer anything but spitballing. Obviously, List Shifterās iterate function works in general, soā¦ 
Debug Buddy! thatās what i was trying to remember lol 
Also i got things working again, with the exception of the fact that my data isnāt loading into my custom state before firing the initializationā¦ tried adding a āpauseā but it doesnāt seem to affect it Any ideas? My Workflow:
P.S. Iāll be happy to get you access if youāre interested in looking into it that deeply 
If youāre having trouble with sequencing/asynchronous execution (you say that the BEGIN step is firing before data is actually present in the custom state) donāt use a custom state. Just use a List Shifter instead. Use the SET Custom List action with the ātrigger eventā and āpublishā options on. Youāll get notified by that event when the Custom List has been updated. Do your BEGIN Iterate action on that trigger.
(You might also find passive ways of doing this with a List Shifter elementās List to Shift expression. Whenever the value of the expression changes, List Shifter will throw the Initialized/Updated event. But note that thereās not an Action to change List to Shift. Thatās partly why I introduced Custom List.)
Nice plugin! Iām using it as a paginator and Iām not sure whether Iām doing something wrong. My repeating group for the items to be displayed on the page is set to use the Shifted List as its data source. It works fine but Iām unable to properly handle the the following scenario.
Context
I want to display 3 items per page
A checkbox [FILTER1] allows me to only display items where field [VISIBLE] is true
The original list takes checkbox [FILTER1] as a constraint to its data source.
Starting situation:
[FILTER1] is unchecked (I want to see all items)
Page 1:
- Item 1 ([VISIBLE]=false)
- Item 2 ([VISIBLE]=false)
- Item 3 ([VISIBLE]=false)
Page 2:
- Item 4 ([VISIBLE]=false)
- Item 5 ([VISIBLE]=true)
- Item 6 ([VISIBLE]=false)
Expected result
When I toggle [FILTER1] to true (I only want to see items that have [visible] = true), I expect to see:
Page 1:
- Item 5 ([VISIBLE]=true)
Problem
Instead, I see:
Page 1: empty
Page 2:
- Item 5 ([VISIBLE]=true)
=> I have to go to page 2 in order to see the item, although it should have been displayed directly on page 1.
Is there anything I can do to fix?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Shifted List us your paginated items. The only things present at that output are the items that belong in that page. Youāre trying to filter your entire list before displaying it paginated. This cannot be done the way youāre trying to do it.
Put another List Shifter upstream with your full list. Put some sort of filtering mechanism after it. Feed the filtered results into another List Shifter in pagination mode. Then youāll have paginated, filtered results.
Thatās what you want to do.
List Shifter isnāt magic, it just gives you access to a bunch of stuff that Bubble forgot to include.
