Nessus 3 suggestions for policy editor

We use multiple policies when doing scans, depending on the general
target type (i.e. unix, windows, network devices, etc). Of course using
custom policies neans that when new plugins come out you must update the
policies accordingly.

This has always been time-consuming with Nessus, both 2.2.x and the 3.x
versions. Both STAT Guardian and ISS Internet Scanner give a simple
method to sort vulns so that you can easily see the newest additions.
Nessus 3 does not, sadly.

What I'd like to see in Nessus 3's policy editor is similar to what is
done with NessusWX. The ability to not only view the vulns grouped by
categorey or family, but to do searches as well. Best of all, the
ability to sort by date of plugin release/update. In fact, even just the
ability to sort by the plugin ID number would be a great boon.
