list containing just 20 mods and 20 libraries looks cluttered and is difficult to navigate quickly

Describe the solution you'd like

Mod Organizer 2 allows you to create your own categories—for example, separating libraries and mods into two groups based on their creators. Vortex offers similar functionality. Modrinth, however, does not support this; as a result, even a list containing just 20 mods and 20 libraries looks cluttered and is difficult to navigate quickly.

Vortex uses a hard-link method. I think this is possible because the JAR filenames are unique.
I propose using the hard link method. This entails keeping the mods folder unchanged while simultaneously creating a separate mechanism that links the JAR files to the interface via hard lilink.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

A similar situation is described in issue #4234; however, that case involves a change to the mod handling mechanism, which requires adaptation by either the launcher or the mod loaders.

For this method, I propose naming the modifications by combining the original name that was added in mod page and version of this mod with, for example, a four-digit code for standardization
