Filterable SPFIeldUrl in default view

Question

I`v added a hyperlink (SPFieldUrl class) column (field) with GUI to my list.

Pity, but I cannot filter those values when viewing the list.

(It reads that you cannot filter this column type)

Is there any way to have it easy filterable with clicking on columns besides creating a custom view?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Depending on how you are using the url, you may be able to do something with calculated columns.

Another option is to use a text field rather than a url field - The url field type is effectively a combination of two fields, so you may be able to get what you are looking for by creating those two field seperately.
