-In Mesh module it is possible to \subpage creating_groups_page "create groups of mesh elements":
-nodes, edges, faces or volumes:
-
-- by selecting the elements of the specified kind by their IDs or
-directly on the presentation in the VTK viewer - Standalone group tab of Create group
-dialog.
-- by creating a group of elements of the selected type from all
-such elements of the chosen geometrical object - Group on
-geometry tab of Create group dialog.
-- by creating several groups of elements (nodes,
-edges, faces and volumes) from the chosen submesh - using Mesh -> Construct
-Group Menu item. In this case groups of elements are created automatically.

+In Mesh module it is possible to create groups of mesh elements:
+nodes, edges, faces, volumes, 0D elements or balls. One group contains
+elements of only one type. The following ways of creation are
+possible:
+
+- by selecting the elements using filters and/or directly on the
+ presentation in the VTK viewer, and/or by using elements of other
+ mesh objects - \ref standalone_group "Standalone group"
+ tab of \ref creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.
+- by creating a group of elements generated on the chosen geometrical
+ object - \ref group_on_geom "Group on geometry" tab of
+ \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog and
+ \subpage create_groups_from_geometry_page "Create Groups from Geometry"
+ dialog.
+- by creating a group of elements satisfying to certain criteria -
+ \ref group_on_filter "Group on filter" tab of
+ \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.
+- by creating groups of nodes and elements from the chosen submesh
+ (type of elements depends on dimension of submesh geometry) -
+ using Mesh -> Construct Group menu item (available in context
+ menu as well).
+- by creating groups of entities from existing groups of superior
+ dimensions - using \subpage group_of_underlying_elements_page
+ "Create Group of Underlying Elements" dialog.
The created groups can be later:
-
-- \subpage editing_groups_page "Edited"
-- \subpage using_operations_on_groups_page "Subjected to Boolean operations", or
-- \subpage deleting_groups_page "Deleted"

-An important tool, providing filters for creation of \b Standalone
-groups is \subpage selection_filter_library_page.
+In the Object Browser, if groups or sub-meshes container item has more
+than one child sub-object, it is possible to sort the children in
+ascending order. For this, select the parent object in the Object
+Browser and choose Sort children context menu item.
