Really love the new state groups but it’s a bummer that it can only be used in formulas currently.

For our use cases it would be helpful to:

- sort or filter views based on state groups
- use state groups as a filter in automations

So that we don’t need formulas such as ‘is this state in group X’ which clutter the workspace.

(I can understand that this isn’t a ‘vote worthy’ request, but really hope it can be added so that we can actually use the benefits of state groups)
