Create a SharePoint view base on Choice column (Checkboxes allow multiple selections)

Question

I have a SharePoint online document library with a Choice column. I have selected Checkboxes so users can have multiple selections options. My issue is that when I want to use Group by an option to create a new view, I can't see this column in the list of selections.

Would you mind letting me know first if there is another way to achieve my goal and second if I am doing something wrong?

Answer 1

This is by design in SharePoint. Choice column with multiple selections does not support grouping in views.
