Is it possible to add an additional sort order for packages in the smart 
package manager?

The one I am thinking of is the one which exists in the SUSE's YOU 
software manager which has a group called SELECTION which groups 
packages according to such headings as-

Graphical Base System
KDE Desktop Environment
All of KDE
GNOME System
Games
Multimedia
Kernel Development
Network and Server

and so on.

These groupings not only greatly help in locating packages whose exact 
names are not known but their general purpose is known as well as 
installing all packages which are required for a specific purpose (eg, 
multimedia).

Cheers.
