How to structure Multisite sites into categories?

Question

When using WordPress Multisite with many sites, it would be nice to store them into categories. Site categories that is, not post categories.

Maybe there is a way to use some kind of site meta / custom fields for sites? Is there one? How to use it?

A plugin would be nice, or an example of a start, what hooks / functions to use.

Haven't you upgraded to Multisite yet? mu.wordpress.org

Answering to this Question, How to add Custom Blog Options to new blog setup form?, I ended up doing a plugin that does exactly that: adds a blog meta field to give each site a Category.

It's a simple meta field, meaning: no category tree. I just revised the code and updated. Available in GitHub.

Main hooks:

Would be nice to click the column header to sort sites by category, like "domain" and "last updated".

@JensTörnell, I tried it once. Checking again now: a query filter has to be applied to manipulate this SQL command, but I don't know how to do it.
