Also, sometimes you don't want to sort alphabetically.  I have a variety of
wood textures, for example, each one with two versions, polished and
unpolished.  Now I could rename them to "Wood Texture A, unpolished" and
"Wood Texture A, polished" but I prefer them to be "Polished wood A" and
"Unpolished Wood A".  However, I swap between them while doing various
tests.  It'd be nice to be able to move the elements around (up and down the
list) so that they're organized by wood type, by polish type or some other
custom organization (just a simple Move Item would do it).  That's a bit
complex, especially if you want to remember orderings, but having a
hierarchy of textures, rather than just a list, would be a great boon for
organizing things (especially when you add all the other textures)
