Grouping Items in a List

Last Updated:

Grouping lets you organize items within a list by any property — genre, streaming service, platform, author, or even your own custom Ingredients.

Lists and groups organization feature


How to Group Items

  1. Open a list
  2. Tap ••• in the top right
  3. Tap “Edit List Details”
  4. Under the grouping option, choose a property to group by

Items will instantly reorganize into collapsible sections with headers.


Grouping Options

The available grouping options depend on the types of items in your list:

  • General — Category, Genre, Release Year, Recency, Progress Status
  • TV Shows — Network, Status
  • Movies — Streaming Service, Runtime
  • Books — Author
  • Music — Artist
  • Games — Platform, Game Mode, Developer, Publisher, Time to Beat
  • Custom — Any single-select or multi-select Ingredient you’ve created

How Groups Work

  • Each group gets a collapsible header with an icon
  • Items that match multiple values (e.g., a movie on both Netflix and Hulu) appear in each group
  • Items without a value for the grouped property go into a “No [Property]” catchall group
  • Tap a group header to collapse or expand it

Combining with Filters

Grouping works alongside persistent filters. You can filter a list to show only certain items, and those filtered results will still be organized into groups.
