I've played around with creating another text custom column and that approach works fine except Count Pages only works with interger columns. I also tried creating a column based on another (autofilling with the contents of my #pages) but it appears it's still integers.
Is there a way to get a group from an integer custom column (or am I going about this all wrong)?

CC does not support grouping or searching on non-text columns.
I am not sure what it would mean to group on an integer column. Would you expect each different value to appear when you tap the column? What would "by first letter" mean in this case?
It is much easier to see the value in searching for integer columns. I could do exact match searching by converting the number to its equivalent text. Harder would be the relational operator such as greater than or less than, because CC's search currently doesn't support the syntax. I will look at it.
