Can you sort installed VS Code extensions by category, like the built-in ones?

When looking at VS Code extensions, I noticed that when you type in "@builtin" it automatically sorts and divides the built-in extensions by category. Picture below to show what I mean:

list of built in VS Code extensions divided by category

I would find this to be super useful for examining my @installed or even not yet installed extensions. I don't see where to set this view, though. You can choose a category, yes, but that's not remotely the same. Definitely with my @installed extensions I'd like to have them automatically sorted. If it's not possible (I see many of the @builtin extensions are listed as "Features", which doesn't seem like an actual category), and there's already been a feature request, can someone point me to it so I don't duplicate? Thanks.

I think the only sorting of installed extensions is coming in vscode v1.72, see Release Notes: sorting installed extensions:

Click on the filter icon next to the Extensions: Installed head and choose Sort By....

You can now sort the list of installed extensions by Install Count, Rating, Name, Published Date, and Updated Date.
