Motivation:

Organising symbols into a nice neat line is great if you only 5 of them, but it definately does not work to scale. This plugin attempts to organise a large number of symbols, like those used in an enterprise design system. Symbol groups are extracted, sorted and laid out to make it easier to organise, search & find symobls within a libray of 1000's.

Layout:

Symbol groups are organised aphabetically on the y axis, and the artboards within the group are organised alphabetically on the x axis.
