[BuzzFeed4Lief]

The non-code solution could add a dependency on the Community Category Kit mod and ship a custom filter config file.

 

If you'd like to go it yourself, PartCategorizer.AddCustomSubcategoryFilter() looks promising, e.g. used like this:

https://github.com/allista/GroundConstruction/blob/master/GCFilterManager.cs

I use a patch like this to add a cat with custom icons. You simply use the part name to add parts to list.

 

ODCAT
{
    folderName = NSI
    normalPath = NSI/Category/NSIIcon
    selectedPath = NSI/Category/NSIIconActive
    title = Next Star Industries
}

CUSTOM_PARTLIST_CATEGORY
{

    categoryName = NSI
    icon = NSI/Category/NSIIconActive

    SUBCATEGORY
    {
            name = Engines
            icon = Squad/PartList/SimpleIcons/R&D_node_icon_advancedmotors

        PARTS
        {
            part = NSILV-1
        }
    }

    SUBCATEGORY
    {
            name = Probes
            icon = Squad/PartList/SimpleIcons/R&D_node_icon_basicprobes

        PARTS
        {
            part = NSI1m-PCC
            part = TDS22
            part = Peacekeeper
            part = MQ9
        }
    }
    SUBCATEGORY
    {
            name = Weapons
            icon = Squad/PartList/SimpleIcons/R&D_node_icon_experimentalelectrics

        PARTS
        {
            part = B61m12GPS
            part = Diamondback
            part = Typhoon
            part = exocetMM40b3
            part = FatMan
            part = Pumpkin Bomb
            part = LittleBoy
            part = W87
            part = Peacekeeper
            part = MK24
            part = MK81GPS
            part = MK81Laser
            part = MK81UGB
            part = MK82GPS
            part = MK82Laser
            part = MK82UGB
            part = MK83GPS
            part = MK83Laser

            part = MK84GPS
            part = MK84Laser

            part = R23r
            part = R27r
            part = R33
            part = R37
            part = R60
            part = R73
            part = Honest John Conventional LR GPS
            part = Honest John Conventional UGM
            part = Honest John Nuclear LR GPS
            part = Honest John Nuclear UGM
    `       part = Honest John Improved Conventional UGM
            part = Honest John Improved Nuclear UGM
        }
    }
}
