Use groups on a board

You can group cards on a board by assignee or by tag. When you select an option to group by, the cards appear in a swimlane format. Unassigned cards or cards without tags appear in their own swimlane.

NOTE
Any cards in the intake column are not included in a group, and the intake column is hidden when a group is applied. For information on the intake column, see Add an intake column to a board.
