Is your feature request related to a problem?
This is a convenience & accessibility suggestion to clean up the sometimes cluttered and hard to read at a glance calculations menu.
Describe the solution you'd like
Essentially, an additional function that allows the user to add a categorical, parent menu to add specific, titled windows within the calculations screen for which the user can configure where stats will be positioned categorised / outlined seperately from others (i.e. Defence, Attack, DOT, EHP, etc).
Drag/drop & "+ to add category menu" button would be nice, but even just a config file that makes doing this possible would be awesome.
I can elaborate with crap mspaint drawings/animations if needed
Describe alternatives you've considered
No response
Additional context
Situationally, I find myself chasing a single stat window in calculations amongst a tightly packed bunch of others and I get lost quick if I'm looking between the game and POB. It would be nice to have a setup for example, poison / bleed calcs + whatever else contributes in their own specific spaces to see more clearly at a glance.

Research direction
Start by locating the calculations screen and its current stat-window layout. Review how existing calculation elements are arranged, then clarify the intended parent and child category behavior, user positioning controls, and whether configuration or drag-and-drop is required. Done should provide a usable way to organize calculation windows into titled custom categories.
