The thing is that at the beginning there was no such field as original language. This field was added much later and I did not bother adding grouping capability for it (and no one asked for it until now)...
I'll add your suggestion to my TODO list.

 OK thanks that makes sense now, even though it is rather surprising.
 
 Maybe Nostra could add that to his TODO list (sorry Nostra, more work  :-\) ?

The grouping is by the langs (languages) field found in audio streams. No grouping is provided for the origlang (original language) field. Movies can only be selected by original language using Advanced Search. I don't know why it's that way. I don't have any objection to audio stream languages being groupable and searchable, but the original language is clearly more relevant to a database of original movies (i.e., media information is secondary).

 I was looking at my stats for languages and found out that most of my movies had no "language" information.
 However when looking at movie records I found a field called "Original language", and most of my movies have this info properly filled in.

 If you look at the screenshot you'll see that I have two "undefined" groups for languages. In these group, the movies have an "original language" filled in. I guess it is not recognised as being the "language" field.
 These "original language" informations are coming from imdb by the way, using the plugin.

 Also if you look at the example you will see that the original language is Bengali but it is in the "afrikaan" group. I guess this means that there is in that record a "language" field, not shown on the movie card, containing "afrikaan" value.

 How can I make this "language" field appear in the movie card? how can I check it is in the record? Do you know why it is called "original language"?
