Feature description.
I would like to see a sub-menu for drop-downs in the QGIS GUI that refer to Fields that aggregates/groups Hidden fields into a sub-category, so that they are both accessible, but also not taking focus away from active fields, with the benefit (from #35585) that the order/appearance of the Attribute Table columns should match the drop down, easing navigation and recognition of fields.
Current behavior with Hidden Fields:
Note that the Hidden Fields show in the drop-down, cluttering the display and being in contradiction to the display expected from the Attribute Table.
Proposed behavior with Grouped Hidden Fields Sub-Menu and Re-ordering from #35585 :
Note that the Hidden Fields show in a sub-menu of the Drop-down, respecting and reflecting the defined Fields from the Attribute table, easing the scanning of the drop-down when looking for the desired Field.
Additional context
A potential follow-on from #35585 .
