About This Feature

Overview

WPS Office on Android supports grouping in data tables so you can organize records by field values and review similar items more efficiently on a mobile device.

Core capabilities include:

Add a grouping condition to organize records by one field.
Set grouping order by option order or reverse option order.
Add multiple grouping conditions for layered grouping.
Delete a grouping condition to return to a simpler view.

This feature is useful when you need to review categorized records, check project items, or browse shared tables on Android. Grouping changes the display only and does not directly modify the original record content.

System Requirements

Operating system	Android phone or tablet
App version	A current version of WPS Office is recommended

Comparison Item	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Android data tables support adding grouping conditions by field, choosing a sort rule, adding multiple grouping conditions, and deleting grouping.	Excel official guidance supports grouping worksheet rows or columns, nested outline levels, and expand or collapse actions, but the public guidance is mainly oriented to desktop and web worksheet use.	Google Sheets official help confirms grouping and ungrouping rows and columns on Android, including expand and collapse actions.	Notion official help supports grouping databases by property and adding sub-groups, but the model is a database view rather than a cell-based spreadsheet.	Adobe Acrobat official help covers collecting PDF form data and exporting it to a spreadsheet file, but it does not provide a directly comparable spreadsheet grouping feature.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS provides a direct grouping entry inside Android data tables, supports layered grouping by field, and lets users add or remove grouping within the same mobile workflow.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers established outline grouping, but its official public guidance here is more focused on desktop worksheet scenarios.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports Android grouping, but its official guidance focuses on worksheet rows and columns rather than field-based grouping in a data table.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports grouping and sub-grouping by property, but it is centered on database views instead of spreadsheet-style field grouping.	Compared with WPS: Adobe can export form results to spreadsheet files, but it does not present a native grouping workflow for spreadsheet records.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Office is a practical choice when you want to group data directly in an Android data table and keep the workflow on mobile. If your work is centered on worksheet row and column grouping, Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets may be more familiar. If you prefer database-style grouping, Notion is closer to that model.
