It'd be nice to have columns of genus, num colors, orientable, etc., so we aren't slaved to a single organization in a tree. Melinda suggested this to me and had this to say...
"I think a table would be a better view, especially with a "search" filter. (Actually, search is useful regardless of view type.) Then if you remember the order in which column sorts have been performed, you can use the previous column as the secondary sort, the one before that the tertiary sort, etc. That way people can choose their own organization and you won't need to impose a single organization. Even when they don't realize how that works (which will likely be the case most of the time), they'll often get the results they want anyway."
