Return empty fields when i try to group by month

I am trying to group by month (mmmm yyyy) a list of checklist items inside a repeating group, but when I try to use “group by” all the fields on the repeating group are empty … What am I doing wrong? Here’s a video with the explanation.

Thanks so much in advance!

Sorry I don’t have time to give to much explanation, I have a training session with a client coming up.

I do this in my apps. You need in your database, number fields that represent the month and the year.

Inside the RG with grouping add a group like below

Inside of that put an RG

You don’t actually need to search as there are better ways to store the values without needing to search again, but that is basically the approach to sort and filter by month and years.

This was perfect! Thanks so much for the tip!

Now the filter by month looks like “11 2021” for example … any thoughts on how to transform this number into a date? I’ve seen there’s a plugin that could help but what are your thoughts?

Thanks again, I really appreciate your time.
