Hi Marcin,


We would like to inform you that the grouping will be based on the field value. To apply grouping in SfDataGrid, you must set the PropertyName as the ColumnName (i.e., Model property). As a result, we recommend that you define the GroupBy property in the model class to meet your needs.


Please refer to our user guidance document regarding the same,

UG link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/datagrid/grouping#programmatic-grouping


You can also refer to our online documentation to group by a column that is not in columns collection below,

KB link: https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/7396/how-to-group-by-a-column-that-is-not-in-columns-collection


Please let us know if you need further assistance.


Regards,

Lakshmi Natarajan
