It'd be useful to enable an alternate method of
grouping buffs within the in-game window -- by buff
type, rather than by target.

At the moment, you'd have something like this
(particularly if they're applied out of order):

Player -> Target 3
Clear Mind - 00:15

Player -> Target 1
Clear Mind - 00:30
Fortitude - 00:45

Player -> Target 2
Clear Mind - 00:05

Which can be difficult to quickly read through when
looking to see what buffs are active. The alternative
grouping could look something like:

Clear Mind
Target 1 - 00:30
Target 2 - 00:05
Target 3 - 00:15

Fortitude
Target 1 - 00:45

Perhaps with automatic alphabetical sorting of the
target names as well.

I've only briefly thought about it for player-granted
buff though, so changes might be needed for recieved or
self buffs. Perhaps they could be consolidated into one
section, ignoring the source of the buff.

Player (Self)
Clarity - 00:50
Insight - 00:35
Deflection Field - 03:10

    It's a good idea, and something I've considered doing
    before. At some point the whole in-game window needs to be
    looked at and possibly re-vamped. Thanks for the suggestion,
    we'll keep it in mind.
