[SalesForce] Showing Multiple Related list for the Same Object

We have an requirement to show multiple related list of same child object. For e.g. On Account object, we would like to show two related list of Contact object.

One related list need to show contacts with record type "Employee" and another needs to show contacts with record type "Clients".

It would be very straight forward by adding an inline visualforce page.
But, our requirement is that we would like to implement it with out of box feature of Salesforce.

Please let let me know, if someone has achieved such functionalities by using out of box Salesforce feature.

I think you can achieve it by doing following :

  • Create two lookup of Account object (Parent object) on Contact (Child Object)

  • On child object you can make these lookup visible based on record types.

  • These two lookups on Contact object will show two related lists on Account object.

I hope with this you would be able to achieve two related list with out of box feature.

Thanks!!!
