It takes time, but the new functions are great ;)

Have any better idea for "level"? It's the level of a tree. But perhaps 
there is a better word for it.

I will add one full one...

Here a short example one

- News: tt_news (disableNewTable and a wizard with "disabled")
-- Topic (simple table wizard)
-- Category (simple table wizard)

Perhaps there could be a flag in the TCA where you can automatically 
create this order by.

Is there a possibility to get the ext via TCA[table]?
Or can we walk through the extension and the through the tables?

Ok. Copy and Paste ;)

I have thought about that. But I'm not sure, if it should be done in an 
other patch.

Ok. It is only the path ;)

I have thought about that. I would like to remove it because it is also 
in the normal list.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out a little bit.

Perhaps you have some more ideas...
