This mod attempts to allow the parts list to mimic the hierarchical model that I have seen used by many people in the community. Often people look for parts by...

1. Looking for a function (e.g. an engine) then....
2. Looking for a subfunction (e.g. a solid rocket engine) then...
3. Looking for the appropriate cross sectional aka bulkhead size.
4. Finally compare other things like mass, stats, etc.

Features

Bulkhead Tags

Bulkhead size tags are a new feature which appends a colored tag to parts according to their bulkhead size. This lets the player quickly see how big a part is in the parts list and intuitively where it will fit in their current vessel.

Bulkhead Sorting

The mod also adds a bulkhead size sort mode, which is enabled by default in the VAB. This sorts parts by bulkhead size in ascending or descending order.

To make this fit in limited UI space, the VAB sorters have been modified so they show icons instead of text descriptors.

Subcategories

Subcategories are new VAB parts list widgets that appear as headers within the Function category lists. They can be collapsed or expanded, and sort parts in these categories more easily. As an example, parts in Command may be sorted into Pods, Probes, Cockpits and similar.
