For people that have a lot of plug-ins this organizational method can actually cost time and frustration. This will force to scroll down to find a particular plug-in and that process can take away valuable time in the production process.

This option is useful when searching for plug-ins in alphabetical order, regardless of what "type" of plug-in it is. The first option under the drop menu is the Flat list.
