Hi ! My question is how to approach the Repeating Group sorting or search but according to a type that is nested inside the RG Data.

For example:

I have the data type **Booking** defined with the following types  
Check-in: date  
Check-Out: date  
**User** : User  
**Room** : Room

Now what I need to do is to sort the RG “ **Bookings** ” but according to the type “RoomNr” which is inside **Room** , or according to the “User-Name” which is a type inside **User**.

Any ideas ?

Many thanks

I think the easiest way is that writing room number to booking.

Check-in: date  
Check-Out: date  
**User** : User  
**Room** : Room  
roomnumber: number

Writing the same data twice is not the best idea but sometimes we need this kind of alternative ways.

Hey @tunacardak ! Thanks for your comments. I also evaluated that possibility, and even though it could be a good alternative for some Data Types, there are others that are more likely to be modified in time and that could be messy.

I also evaluated to have different RG one with Booking, other with User and show/hide them according to the filter applied. But even this alternative still sounds too messy . . . .
