Feedback ยท Organize traits in profiles into little groups (implemented)

I noticed that when I'm viewing lots of profiles, it takes me a lot of time to parse the traits and "paint a picture" of each character in my head. I think it might be helpful to have them separated into different clusters, to understand them more quickly. Here's a somewhat lame example: https://i.imgur.com/QreGhuC.png

This will probably become a lot easier with profile comparisons.

Though, we'd have to find some kind of categorization for the traits. As they're all basically supposed to describe the profile, only a few come to mind - namely gender and physical attributes. But even that isn't really clean, because sex is part of both of those.

Here's my attempt at grouping all of the traits. The first one in each list is sort of meant to be a "title" for that group. http://i.imgur.com/6Qy6VoG.png

My thought there was that the titles of each category are very important for quickly understanding a character, so if you just read those, you've got a good idea already. And yeah, they are a little gray area - Mating Cycle and Supernatural abilities there are pretty out of place. Column B is sort of "Physical Details" whereas D is "Overall Body."

If anyone else has any ideas or thoughts, don't be shy to share them!

I would like this, and there is not a trivial solution, but any solution is better than random because, random + many = confusion + headache.

This has been implemented with collapses tentatively. The groupings are also a bit different than what was proposed (we've had quite some more traits added in the mean time). Will also have to figure out how to make columns work with this.
