Description
I track and store a lot of my outdoor activities, and Maps currently does find and show them well. However, while sorting by date is nice, sometimes I want to look at an older exercise I did a few months ago, but cannot recall the exact date. It would be nice to somehow be able to filter tracks by e.g. average speed, or total distance. I imagine it could look something like

when a filter is applied, and filters could be selected via the three-dot menu.
Actually, one thing that I think would be nice/fun would also be automatic colour selection of tracks based on such filters. For instance, I have a python script that runs in a terminal, but allocates an "exercise" to each track based on a combination of speed and distance. I would really like to be able to set up and use such filters to automatically assign specific colours to each track.

Research direction
Review the existing track sorting and the three-dot menu entry points, then determine how track data exposes average speed and total distance. Done would include user-configurable filters and automatic track colours based on those filters; the issue names no files or tests.
