Custom view grouping on contact owner

Hi there,
Could anyone give me a few hints on how to achieve the
following:
Our custom contact form has a listbox that shows who's
the owner of the contact (It can be several persons).
It's just a listbox and no fields as it can be
many "contact owners" on a contact. Instead I save the
owners together with EntryID for the contact into a db.
I would like to create a view that filters or groups on
owner(s); "everybody with A.A. as owner, everybody with
B.B. and so on.
Is this easily achieved or should I create Owner1, Owner2
etc. and have code save the owners into the fields?

Grateful for "a smart decision"!
Kristian
 
You can save the owners as a delimited string into one custom field, and
then create multiple views for each owner, using "contains" on that field as
a filter. Grouping on that field might be tricky though. If there's a
small amount of owners, it might be better to go with fields for Owner1,
Owner2, etc.
