Suggestion: Add “Group by” feature for photos in a folder (based on EXIF, date, camera, location, etc.)

I’d like to suggest adding a “Group by” feature in XnView MP for managing photos within a folder.
Currently, we can sort images by various criteria (such as date, camera model, etc.), but it would be very useful if we could also group them by certain EXIF or metadata fields — similar to what ACDSee offers.
For example:
Group photos by shooting date (e.g., one group per day or month)
Group by camera model or lens
Group by GPS coordinates (location)
Or other EXIF/metadata fields
This would make it much easier to browse and organize large photo collections based on shooting conditions or metadata.
Thank you for considering this feature — I believe many photographers and archivists would find it very helpful.
