I have a view on an interface for a large database of plays that I want to group by their playwrights. I have added in a user action that allows this to happen. However I have to click ‘Group’ and select ‘Group by Writer’ every time I open the interface. Is there any way to ‘lock’ this grouping so that the plays are grouped in this way every time I open the database? 

The first picture is how I’d like the database to open and the second is how it does open (where I then have to manually group them).

There are actually 2 different boxes to click on when you are in edit mode.

You are currently clicking on the “inner box” that only highlights the entire list.

You actually have to click on the “outer box” that highlights the ENTIRE PAGE.

Then, you can set default grouping.

It’s very confusing, because it’s so hidden.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply ​@ScottWorld ! Would you be able to point towards where I would go to click on the outer box? I can’t seem to find default grouping? 

Thanks!

Oh sorry, I got it backwards.

You are ALREADY clicking on the outer box, which is the default box that is selected when you go into edit mode.

You'll need to click on the INNER box by going into edit mode, and then clicking on the list area itself.
