This is maybe suggested already a while back… but i just want to say it again then…
Please implement a vst and vsti groupng feature… so i can create a group of filter effects, a group of amp/distortion effects or whatever group i would like to make… (perhaps group them by developer)
Right now its very messy… especially effects. Instruments grouping is little lower priority for me but it would be very nice also.
yes, this is what I want too. have lots of vst fx, and would be nice to get them sorted somehow out
Good idea! As the current scrollmenu doesnt support submenus/categories, maybe the background of the scrollmenu could have a certain color according to group. That way there is atleast no need for creating a totally new menutype, and would be very useful.
Till now known workaround is to rename your VST’s to group 'em this way.
For example (grouping by developer):
dfx Bouncy.dll
dfx BufferOverride.dll
dfx CrazyIvan.dll
dfx Cyanide2.dll
dfx Geometer.dll
dfx SupaPhaser.dll
dfx SupaTrigga.dll
this one been suggested ages ago, many people suggested, including me. i remember what taktik said me when i reminded about the suggestion to him, but i won’t publish it, i don’t what to ruin his reputation of a good coder 
but anyway, this whole tab panel should be reviewed, it’s ok for buttons, but it’s crap for dsp listing and automation editing, there are should be separate visuals for proper automation editing, dsp handling, and everything else what doesn’t require everyday using.
Do you have to be a non-descript asshole with every post you make?
Here are the threads I could find on the subject:
Organizing Vst’s, Tree Structure?
Vst Plugin Handling
Vst Effect Subfolders, Expansion in Track DSPs
Even more… with a screenshot of renoise ‘v1.28 organize plugin edition’ 
[1.5 Sugg]
Vst Effects Sorted By Directory Structure
Vst Favorites
i’m proud of the fact that even weirdos remember all of my 550 posts, i believe they spell it every night. it gives me more power to post the magic crap. thank you, dear supporter!
Dont try so hard zed.
yeah, i posted my own topic about this some months ago, too… seems this feature is for now MOST WANTED, but still not implemented : /
I wrote it in the past thread… I’ll write this here as well.
What’s with this “developer sorting” ? 
To me it just does NOT happens to say stuff like
“Hmm… now that I’m done with these notes… let me see, what steinberg effect can I put here?”
it rather happens that I say like
“hmm… now that I’m done with these notes… let me see, what delay can I use here?”
Sorting VSTi and VSTefx could be very usefull.
Sorting them under developer name it just makes no sense to me…
Thats what i am waiting for also
But even better would be, if the ‘most-used’ Plugins appers to the top of the window afterwards, cause sometimes its boring to scroll all the way down to make 5 tracks applying ‘Send Track’ 
Yeah, i used it just as an example… to say that i could make my own groups just as i like them.
Bu in some cases groupin by developer could be useful also though.
For example lets say i have “waves mastering pack” and i wanna use only those (similar interface, similar quality etc) plugins…
