Ah, I see. I group by 2 and he groups by 1 because I put the Group field in the second place and he in the first.

These 2 queries were identical except for my typo. But Cetin used a good point of casting the group field to an integer. I'm not sure if this was necessary, but didn't hurt, of course.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
