[Feature]: Put the expansion name at the Beginning of the category instead of the end #184

Describe the feature

Unless you have a lot of items in a given category what you are likely to see is Miscellenan and the eous - Other - Dragonflight is hidden. I'd like to suggest something like ths: DF-Misc-O and Mop-Misc-O so I could have more information at my fingertips. 5 categories, all with the name "Miscell.." is not too helpful

Describe the implementation

Not a config issue, it's a core suggestion

We will not change the naming of categories from the Blizzard native category names, but putting them at the front might be a good idea. I'll toy with it and see what it looks like.

What would be nice here is a plugin callback that can change the displayed text in the bag, sort of like localization. The plugin could perform various operations like removing the section prefix (like "Consumable") and replacing the expansion name with an acronym. This would be done after category sorting. (Although maybe there's good reason to have another hook before the sort.)

Right now I'm adding ~99 in front of a category name to get it to appear at the end of the bag. A name display hook could remove my artificial prefix while still using it to get categories to sort where I want them.

Seconding this, I generally I like to have the items grouped by Expansion first, but I frequently change which default categories I'm displaying depending on what I'm doing so it would be nice to be able to set the order of selected Bag/Bank categories as needed.
