Hi, are there any workarounds to create category selector options to include multiple values?

e.g. I have a field showing bird family names. 

Bird speciesFamily
AAnatidae
CPhasianidae
AAnatidae
BPandionidae
BPandionidae
EAccipitridae
FRallidae
CPhasianidae
EAccipitridae
FRallidae
AAnatidae
CPhasianidae

 

In the dashboard, I'd like to create a category selector that has two buttons 'Birds of Prey' and 'Prey birds', rather than listing the long list of family names. Is there a way to manually group specific values to be included in selector category 'Birds of Prey' and the rest into the other selector category?

I understand I could create a new field to return values 'Birds of Prey' or 'Prey birds' depending on the value in the Family field, but my survey has a lot of fields and if I was to create new fields for all the category selectors that I need it would add too many new fields. So if I can find a method to do this on the Dashboard it would be really useful.

Thanks!
