Organize Browser by Wall Function

I've seen a lot of ideas submitted regarding wall function, but haven't come across one regarding sorting in the project browser or wall selector dropdown menu when the wall tool is activated.  Perhaps one exists, but here it goes.

It is currently nice to have the ability to assign a function to a wall for model file organization, however that function can easily get lost upon duplication of walls when trying to make a version of a similar or identical wall intended for interior vs exterior, or vice versa.  If we had the ability to the organize/group our wall types by their function in the project browser and the wall selector when the command is activated that would be a nice reminder that a user might need to go back and change the function of a wall if the scenario mentioned earlier in this post occurs.  

I don't condone lazy model organization, but the fact of the matter is we often have to work on the fly.  The easier we make this organization by making things stand out when they're "wrong" the easier it is to back-track and correct the things we might not have had time for early-on.  I'll call this method "corrective auto-organization", and no I have not trademarked that phrase because I'm sure there are better phrases. There is a lot of power in this level of organization that often times can't be attended to when you're just trying to lay things out on "paper" quickly.
