Sorting and Categories in all lists (Discussion)

In all parts of the interface that present lists (such as Skills panel, Quest log, Hero panel, etc.) add the ability to sort the items in the list as well as divide the items into various categories. Skills and Quests already have this, but it would be helpful if the Titles panel also does this.

Why this is a good idea

•  For the Titles panel, it would be helpful if it allowed you to see your titles by Campaign, by Type, or other categories. In addition, the ability to collapse categories you're not interested in at the moment would reduce the clutter.

•  Many panels are now very long, and sometimes it's hard to find a particular item you want.

•  Even more helpful would be the idea to sort on two critera at once. For example, in the skills list, to sort first by Elite status, then by Campaign, so you could see all your elite skills together but divided into campaigns.

Why it may not work out

•  If well implemented, it should be fairly easy to add something like this to ALL lists in the game. On the other hand, I don't know if the code is such that this is a trivial task.
