The categories and sorting features have existed for a very long time, but I changed the default setting that it uses when the program first starts. You can press F1 to cycle between several different sorting options that sort your items in a variety of different ways (I think there's 8 or 9 different sorting methods) and F2 to cycle between the number of category headings you want to display (0, 1, 2, or 3).
There's never been a proper user interface put into WT# to make the user aware of the sorting interface or allow the user to customize the sorting options to use the full power of the custom sorting that WT# is capable of and there still isn't, but I changed the default settings so that it starts with 1 level of category headings and sorts using a sort that considers item class, then rarity, then level, then initial sort order where it used to start with 0 category depth and sort only into the initial sort order that they were loaded from the savegame. If you started an older version of WillowTree# and you pushed F1 three times and pushed F2 once you would achieve the same list condition that it now starts on. I also changed it so that when you load the savegame it will automatically expand the branches, which I'm not sure is the right fit for everyone. For some people that will be great and for others I imagine they would rather the categories not auto-expand and that will be an annoyance. If that turns out to be a big problem for people I will implement some way to configure it in the future.

Just wanted to say thanks for updating this software. 2.4 added a category feature which is something this editor has always needed.
