Let's say we have this table of all countries in the world sorted by their population:
> open countries_by_population.json | from json | first 10

Here we have listed only the first 10 lines. In total this table has got 233 rows which is to big to get information easily out of it.
We can use the group-by command on 'UN statistical region' to create a table per continental region.
> open countries_by_population.json | from json | group-by "UN continental region"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Asia │ Americas │ Africa │ Europe │ Oceania
──────────────────┼──────────────────┼──────────────────┼──────────────────┼──────────────────
[table: 51 rows] │ [table: 53 rows] │ [table: 58 rows] │ [table: 48 rows] │ [table: 23 rows]

Now we can already get some information like "which continental regions are there" and "how many countries are in each region". If we want to see only the countries in the continental region of Oceania we can type:
> open countries_by_population.json | from json | group-by "UN continental region" | get Oceania
