Description

We have 16 tables in our database now, and will probably add some more soon. It would be nice if we could list related tables next to eachother. Currently, the most useful tables are at the bottom and in the middle of the list.

So it would be nice if in the data model, the admin could:
- sort the tables
- maybe some way to group the tables, either by inserting divider lines for visual grouping and/or being able to configure that "this table belongs to table X" (we're a library, so "book subjects" and "book contributions" are related/belongs to "books").

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the data model admin table list, then clarify whether sorting, divider-based grouping, or parent-child relationships are required and define the expected ordering and grouping behavior as acceptance criteria.
