Feature Request: Flexi view group by label/text/notes or user grouping field in patch

I think it would be nice to have a flexi view that combined "patched" and a new "group by label". I often use labels as purpose/system info I.E. Warm Front. In this proposed view, channels could have standard separators appear between channels with different labels and smaller separators or a small gap to show missing unpatched channels. this would allow you to quickly see in the tombstone view where "systems" change and which channels belong together.

It could be even more flexible if there was a "grouping" field in patch.

One way this could be done is with Flexi Selected and the ability to query patch attributes such as labels. It's not quite the same but might be easier to implement since there's already a query function and a Flexi Selected function. If you make use of the extra keyword fields then it's already there.

Sounds to be not a bad idea. I like my channels grouped by their purpose. One way to it is to number the lights respectively. For example:
Warm fronts would be ch 1 thru 6, cold fronts could be 11 thru 16. If you switched off the group by five feature, you get this nicely grouped few in flexi patched.
Downside of that is, you end up sometimes with pretty high (ie 4digit) channel numbers.

This is what I typically do also, but I usually like to take it a step further and I will try to start my rows on a new 10. So, I might do my W. Front DS (1-6), MS (11-16), US (21-26). Then start C. Front @ (31). It's somewhat specific to me and the way i like to channel, but thought it still could be useful in other situations also. Especially if the groupings could someway have a title without losing to much screen real-estate.
