Ability to group assets based on any field #19

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We would like to have an option to group the assets based on different parameters in our data. It could be based on a project or dataset or any other field. Eventually this would help us in case we want to add some filters on the GTF Console.

For example, currently if a user wants to search for a table in a given dataset and they don't know the exact name of dataset, we cannot apply a filter here. We will have to either go for a fuzzy search or give a boost to some values for dataset which could eventually cause to show up some values from other datasets also.

Instead it would be better to show the user the list of datasets present and they can select from this list. We are added grouping here in case the fields are linked to each other in some way then that mapping would help the user to fine grain its search and lead to better results.
