Minor Idea for the Chat Window (Specifically Corp Chat)

I was just looking at my chat window and was thinking that it would be convenient if the members list could be changed to allow for sections, or maybe folders, basically some type of organization feature that would allow players to separate members, i.e. officers, diplos, recruiters, haulers, etc. to make it easier to find specific people if the list is too long. I have a feeling that designing this feature to operate off of roles given to corp members might lead to bugs. I mean lets face it, CCP STILL can't fix the problem with blues showing as neuts in the station Guests tab. (unless they actually have fixed it and I just haven't noticed it yet)

Maybe it could be an ability given only to CEOs and players who have rights to modify corp chat. That way if an officer is demoted or is given a different role, it can be updated wholly by other officers instead of each corp member having their chat list set up differently, and inevitably failing to keep their chat lists up to date with role changes causing confusion with whom to contact for which issues.

This isn't a huge issue, so I'm not going to press it. Obviously there are greater issues to tend to, and having to search through the members list for specific players as it is now isn't really that much of a problem. I just thought that a feature like this might be a nice convenience to have. If you guys like the idea, maybe it can be applied to alliance chat as well. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.
