Hi,
thinking about buying facetWP, somebody was saying , that it is not possible to use data from metabox groups.
Is that correct ?

Hello Joe,

Yes, correct. The group is used for storing data (sub-fields value) not for querying by sub-fields (sort or filter) value because the value of the group saved in the database is a serialized array.
See more at https://metabox.io/create-group-of-custom-fields-with-meta-box-group/#how-does-the-meta-box-group-save-data.

You should use the top field for sorting or filtering (FacetWP).
