Arrange thoughts by link type, link label and other arranging options
I think this is a natural continuation of the current link functionality.
Firstly I request the option to arrange thoughts by link type, then by link label, then by thought type and then by thought name.
I could imagine that others would want a different order so ultimately it should be user defineable in which way the thoughts and links are sorted. Sorting by supertype would also be welcome, as would supertypes for links

This is a really awesome idea and would really help me. My bad for making a duplicate suggestion :(. I see this really wonderful and useful idea was posted nearly a year ago but for some reason the idea doesn't seem popular. I wonder if these types of novel, useful, high-potential, easy-to-implement yet unpopular ideas are overlooked by the staff :(.
Anyway, I believe my version of this idea may contribute, so I'll include it in this post:
For example, I have a thought called "inflammation" it has eight child thoughts with links of type: four "subtypes" and four "components". Because of the spelling of the thoughts, all of them are mixed up and disorganized. This happens very frequently.
For better thought organization and readability, I would like for thoughts to be alphabetized first by their link type; second by the text of the link type (i.e. "exudate" [Action link type - Causes] -> acute inflammation), so that "Causes" does not cause the associated child thought to be mis-grouped with other thought types and better organizes among other "causes" and other names of actions; and third by the name of the thought.
