To be more clear...
Just keep your Places field as is.
Then, in a Panes view, right click a Panes header, and either Add Category To Left... or Add Category To Right..., depending upon where you want it.
Now, in the Category column edit box, select Expression, and paste the above expression into the Expression area. Set the Name to the name you want for the column. Set the sort to Ascending or Descending as you see fit.
Now, your Places field will be expanded in the pane. No need for [.Places], your other places field.
