Home Updater: re-add filtering applications by categories

You used to have categories for each type of software.
This was extremely useful. But actually just an expected feature, that it logically should have had.
Then you deleted it. WHY???
Did you delete it to purposely slow us down, to purposely make using PMPC less efficient, less pleasant?

And then, with your new version, you have MASSIVELY increased number of apps! (YAY!).
So now the situation is 4x worse!!!

The Yellow Pages business directory IS NOT just a alphabetical listing of all the businesses... It's sorted into categories!!! Because that's what it should be!

Please give us back the feature you took from us, and make PMPC usable again.

    Adding categories to organize apps by type

    After downloading Home Updater, I noticed that all applications are displayed in one list. Would it be possible to introduce categories to organize apps by type? For example, creating a “Financial” category with apps like Venmo, PayPal, and Citi c...
