2. Move the mouse pointer over the desired attribute column header and press the left mouse button.
3. Holding the left mouse button move the mouse pointer over the blue field at the top of the attributes table, i.e. the one indicated by Drag a column header here to group by that column text.
4. Release the left mouse button.

To cancel the grouping

1. Make sure that the Data panel displays the attributes table of the desired layer. If not then click on the tab with the right layer name at the top of the Data panel.
2. Move the mouse pointer over the rectangle with the attribute name on the blue field at the top of the attributes table and press the left mouse button.
