Title: Suggestion: Organize the repository by categories, or add a "category" column.

(Apologies if this has already been discussed.  I did do a search, but didn't find any past threads that covered this.)

I think it would be helpful if the repository could be organized by categories (system, office, net, games, multimedia, etc...).

If that's not possible, adding a "category" column would also be helpful.

And to indicate it is MC-compatible console application or has some use without graphical environment. For example linphone has both a graphical gtk GUI and a console-only client.
