Add an option to group teachers by subject in the following FET sections:

Timetable → Teachers → Days Vertical
Data → Teachers

This would make it easier to navigate and manage teachers, especially in schools with a large number of teachers

Hello!

I will add your suggestion in the TODO.

Questions/answers:

1. "large number of" - what large number of? Teachers?

2. What means to group the teachers? Like the students, but only with two levels? Or just to make teachers of a certain category be adjacent? You could use the Up/Down buttons in Teachers dialog, and even add the name of the category as a dummy teacher, before the group of teachers (as I learned from @yush ).

1.especially in schools with a large number of teachers.
2. I mean grouping teachers by subject. For example:

Geography

Teacher 1
Teacher 2
Teacher 3

History

Teacher 4
Teacher 5

This would make the teacher lists much easier to browse and manage.

Exactly! Just add teachers:

***Geography***    (dummy teacher)
Teacher 1
Teacher 2
Teacher 3
***History***      (dummy teacher)
Teacher 4
Teacher 5

You can order the teachers with the buttons Up/Down in the teachers' dialog.

 Yes, I know that this is already possible using the **Up** and **Down** buttons in the Teachers dialog. However, this approach is not practical when dealing with a large number of teachers, as each teacher has to be moved manually.

My suggestion is intended to provide a simpler and more organized way of displaying the data. Grouping teachers by subject would make navigation much easier, improve readability, and save time, especially in large schools. This is the main idea behind my feature request, rather than simply changing the order of teachers.

All right then, I'll write down your suggestion in the TODO list. Thank you!
