Second part of comment:
2. I asked about adding more sorting and grouping compared to what was in the help article in the help article Daniel had mentioned:
http://www.quickbase.com/user-assistance/Default.html#creating_exact_forms_tips.html
To change the sorting and grouping options you would just need to alter your call to follow the guidelines laid out in the API_GenResultsTable API guidelines to reflect the correct combination of sorting and grouping options you'd like. These can be accessed here: https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/index.html#gen_results_table.html%3FTocPath%3DQuick%2520Base%25...
I had to play around using the "Show the expanded URL for this report" to find that
the number of "V"s in groupby-V determines how many of the fields in the slist get grouped. The API guide isn't that specific, but you can find things out by playing around.
Hope this helps somebody!
