Subfolders / groups for fieldsets

When you've built up lots of fieldsets (i.e. more than a handful or so) you probably have different types of fieldsets for different purposes:

  • Some may house fields that you import directly (field: fieldset.field)
  • Others where you import the fieldset completely (import: fieldset)
  • Of which, some which have an associate view and others which don't
  • Some of them you may no longer be using and these can effectively be archived

Keeping all of these fieldsets organised currently takes some forethought. You can change fieldset labels later on to help group fieldsets together (i.e. prefixing their name with Component - , Shared -, or Archived -) but this doesn't really solve the problem.

What would be awesome is if they could be group in a similar way to Blueprints in the CP UI (and perhaps even in collapsible groups) so that navigating through them could be easier.

From a developer perspective, it would also be great if the groups could have a description to help define the types of fieldsets that should be part of that group and where they might be used.
