Feature Request: grouping/structure for rules

I have so many rules it would be very very helpful to group them. I saw there is an option to group folders, however since my rules all apply for the download folder, this is not very helpful in organising my rules.

First off, please do not post Hazel questions in the Forum/site forum. That is for issues regarding the website and this forum.

There will not be grouping of rules as the order of rules affects how they run. Re-ordering and grouping for visual reasons would not be a good idea.

Why do you feel the need to group rules? How many do you have? Have you looked into consolidating them into fewer rules?

I "group" my rules by having an un-checked (not running) rule named for visibility as header for each section, like

----- WORK -----
and
----- MISC -----

and dragging the rules I want into the list under the appropriate header.
