A user flayed me off-list for the stupidity of my group by genre idea, so 
you're probably on the right track there.  I don't know or care enough about 
the underlying theory to be able to use a better-organized system in a useful 
way, so grouping by whether they're diminished or inverted or blaggle 
blithized isn't going to help me.

Beginner, common, all could work, or maybe group by the number of fingers 
required and/or frets spanned.  Beginner chords are often two or three string 
cheater chords, then the next step up is the basic bread and butter 
vocabulary of chords that use open strings, and then the basic barre chords, 
and then you get into all the high end fancy stuff with extensions and weird 
tonalities.

Or maybe just sort all the chords by root or tonic.

I dunno.  I really don't approach the guitar that seriously.  If something has 
a lot of x3b4n93#13sus12 crapola in it, I turn to the next page and move 
right along.
