Comment 3 for bug 1478036

Thank you for taking the time to file this feature requested. There have been related requests filed earlier:
* Bug #795796 “Enhance to tag layers and display by tag”
* Bug #576252 “Allow custom decorations of the names of layers in the "Layers" dialog”
* Bug #176915 “Layer visibility sets”

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #576252 which also requests colored labels for layers.

Note layers can be hierarchically grouped already via sub-layer feature (new layers can be created as sub-layers of the current one; existing layers can be re-arranged into sub-layers via Drag&Drop (new feature in Inkscape 0.91 - see bug #181473).
