I have always wanted simpleNMS to be able to sort the manual entries by
function and location so I came up with this hack. Open ManualEntries.txt in
the simpleNMS directory. Place the entries in any grouping order you find
usefull and add new lines with group names in all caps to distinguish them
from entries. Example:

INFRASTRUCTURE
mainAP (IP : 192.168.1.1)
waterTowerAP (IP : 192.168.2.2)
LOCAL CLIENTS
Jsmith (IP : 192.168.3.3)
Fred (IP : 192.168.4.4)
PODUNKVILLE
Goober (IP : 192.168.5.5)

You can add empty lines to help define your groups, they have no effect on
the program. You can also set the name to anything you want, it does not
have to match the actual name of the device. The order of the manual entries
does not have to match the order of the password entries in the password
file. The only down side is that the group name lines will show up as having
a wrong password in NMS, but even that is usefull to have a yellow line
dividing groups in the bottom window.
