Grouping or sorting of daily point log items

What is the enhancement that you had in mind?
Currently, the daily point log is displayed only in the order of entry. 
It would be nice to be able to group food items during the day into 
user-defined groupings to aid in reviewing the list and for quicker entry 
later. 

How should it work?

The user could have 5 maybe "groups" [group 1, group 2 etc.] that could be 
meals or whatever. After entering an item (or as part of the item entry 
interface) the user can select an optional group tag to add that item to. When 
looking at the lists, the group could be collapsed or expanded to view the 
details - if that's not feasible, the list could at least be sorted by the 
group tags. 

A possibility of functionality that would get toward that usefulness would at 
least being able to drag items into some kind of user-decided order so that all 
of the lunch items or recipe items were together regardless of when they were 
entered. 

My desired outcome is this: I plan my day to the extent I can in the morning. I 
enter known items for lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. Through the day I add things 
I didn't anticipate or delete what I didn't eat. That means scanning up and 
down the list to make sure I covered it all. But if I were grouping them, I 
could pop open the lunch group and check it. [I would also be able to determine 
"my usual salad lunch" is X points and enter the total thereafter, saving the 
entry of individual items.] Or, at a minimum, if I could resort a daily list 
according to the group tags that would help in checking that I included 
everything. 

Another way to use the feature is to list the components for a dish that I'm 
making and putting them in a single group so that a 6-12 ingredients could 
collapse to a single line. When I make that dish again, I can look at that 
group's total and not bother with the individual item entries. (In a way, it 
would be a quick and dirty recipe calculation helper. And if the online point 
log was searchable, it would address the need for a personal database.) If 
collapse/expand weren't feasible, being able to sort by the groups would help 
with the end goal. 

Can you provide an illustration of what you think it should look like (if
applicable)?
