Table and getting counts of records (groupBy)

I have a table widget. It generates a list of mobile device models and the number of mobiles of that given model. In doing this I can't search or sort because the query isn't something filament can modify for searching and sorting. I get the 'column: count doesn't exist`. Is there a "Filament" approved way of accomplishing this? This is my widget:

class SolarwindsMobileByModelTable extends BaseWidget
{

    public function getTableRecordKey(Model $record): string
    {
        return 'model';
    }

    public function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->query(
                SolarwindsMobile::selectRaw('model, COUNT(*) as count')
                    ->where('device_type', 'iPhone')
                    ->orWhere('device_type', 'Phone')
                    ->groupBy('model')
                    ->orderBy('model')
            )
            ->columns([
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('model')
                    ->searchable()
                    ->sortable(),
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('count')
                    ->sortable()
            ]);
    }

class SolarwindsMobileByModelTable extends BaseWidget
{

    public function getTableRecordKey(Model $record): string
    {
        return 'model';
    }

    public function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->query(
                SolarwindsMobile::selectRaw('model, COUNT(*) as count')
                    ->where('device_type', 'iPhone')
                    ->orWhere('device_type', 'Phone')
                    ->groupBy('model')
                    ->orderBy('model')
            )
            ->columns([
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('model')
                    ->searchable()
                    ->sortable(),
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('count')
                    ->sortable()
            ]);
    }

See the image for an example of how it looks. Is this the proper way of accomplishing this?

Here is how to do that: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/tables/columns/relationships#counting-relationships

Nope. If you look at the eloquent statement in my post, you'll see that I'm not dealing with a relationship count. The model column is not a relationship to another table. In my table of mobile devices, there is a column 'model'. I want to groupBy that model string in the mobile table and display the count of records that match that string. Perhaps there is a way to use the filament count() method to achieve what I need? If so, I misunderstood your answer and could use a little clarification. Thank you!

Ok. I've seen people manipulate collections and make the resource utilise those. Personally though I create database views for this sort of thing, and then as far as filament\laravel are concerned, its just a table. Obviously don't try anything other than reading it, but assume for a widget, you wouldn't need to.
