The Lua function `QBShared.MapTableBySubfield` takes two parameters: `subfield` and `table`. It maps the input table based on the specified subfield, creating a new table (`mappedTable`) where each unique value of the subfield corresponds to a subtable containing all entries with that value. The function iterates through the input table, checks for the existence of the subfield in each entry, and creates subtables in `mappedTable` accordingly. Entries are then appended to their respective subtables. While the use of the `goto` statement for skipping iterations is unconventional, it efficiently skips to the next iteration when the subfield is absent. The resulting `mappedTable` is returned as the output.
