Hey there!
I agree that this would be a great suggestion, but there currently are some creative ways to put together a sorting system like you explained.
Heres an example doc showing how it works! In your own doc, you could just have an automation push the buttons themselves, or modify a control. There are lot of ways you can extend this concept or complete it in different ways. This just shows proof of concept.
Hope its helpful! Reach out if you need more support or clarification
