Better "My Presets" organization?

Am I the only one who could use a slightly better level of being able to organize materials in the "My Presets" tab of the plugin? For me, it would be enough if there was a way to define "Groups" so the material list could be sorted in a similar way the "Live DB" tab enables you to.

One other thing on my mind may actually be sort of a "bug" as I noticed that when I open a NGE for a material, then I can drag and drop a material from the Live DB list into the NGE window and it appears there as a compacted material brick I can then connect to a surface or use as a building block for the material I'm editing at the moment. However, I also noticed that the same is not possible for materials from the My Presets tab. Those simply can't be drag and dropped to an NGE window in order to achieve the same level of flexibility as with the Live DB ones. Or does this work and I'm the only one who has this broken (which would not really surprise me)? :D

Hi - this is not something that can be done in the near future.

I was able to drag and drop my preset materials into the NGE.
