Group by focal length

[obelix74]

I want to analyze what focal lengths I use from a given lens. I can navigate to all photos made with a lens, but how do I group the focal lengths to see what I shoot?

You could create a custom sort, though if you have a large number of images to sort, it will take some time to sort them.  Custom sorts are done at the contact sheet level and cannot be accelerated by the catalog database.

Thanks Kirk, any pointers on how to do custom sort?

I ended up exporting all files to XML and wrote a parser to read the XML, but the XML format isn't helpful at all. Key and Value are not connected to each other, so they just go by order (the value next to the key). I wish they were a simple Map of name - value pairs and maintain their relationship.

Custom sort sounds better.
