Dynamic Grouping of Category

Need help with Dynamic Grouping

Consider that there are different categories –

  • Extra Small
  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • Extra Large

 

I have a checkbox where one can select the categories. –

If user selects Extra small and small, rest categories should be grouped to other.

Thank you in advance.
