Table of _installed_ plugins in Plugin Manager should support sorting by cluster where are installed. It helps to distinguish between plugin placed in userdir or IDE installation dir.
It's not in our plans for a long time. IMHO I should close as WONTFIX.
Module Manager let you do this BTW. On a related note, I would really like to be able to specify for a given wizard run whether modules should be placed in the installation directory or user directory. Currently NBMs with a defined cluster are unconditionally placed in the installation directory, which is a pain if you keep a single userdir but routinely replace your installation with a new dev build.
> Module Manager let you do this BTW. Yes, it does. But MM doesn't hide module. In theory, modules shaping a visible plugin can come from more then one cluster. We could just show cluster belonging to visible plugin but I'm afraid it might be confusing in some cases. > On a related note, I would really like to be able to specify for a given wizard run whether modules should be placed in > the installation directory or user directory.

Well. It's meaningful use-case. It's currently tracked as issue 118234.
