I tend to agree with Emma here; even if your original ordering was
not using the workflow as the grouping criterion, that is something
that can easily be fixed, I would think.

After all, the very original did not categorize and sorted
alphabetically, so there is no room for the "we chose to be
theme-oriented (I am not sure what it means, though) and a major
redesign at this point will confuse users" kind of resistance to
come into the picture.  At least not yet.

Thanks.
