Though it's not exactly what you want, try Tidy It Up! It's an application that
rearranges all the icons in your system folder such that, when viewed by small
icon, everything is lined up and sorted according to user-definable categories
like CDEVs, INITs, fonts, etc. It's shareware and
I'm pretty sure it's available at sumex.
