Default beyond advanced filter

How can I continually filter a constantly growing list into sub categories?
Without having to manually advance filter and copy and past?

Eg

Category Vendor Date Amount
Subs Mill creek 1/1/07 $14.06
Auto Today 2/3/05 $400.07
Subs Tanner 3/5/06 $130.00
Home True Green 4/5/06 $50
Home True Green 5/6/06 $50
Entertainment StarBucks 7/9/07 $15
Auto Today 4/15/07 $600.67
Next entry---

(Filter to lists)
Category Auto
Vendor Date Amount
Auto Today 2/3/05 $400.07
Auto Today 4/15/07 $600.67
Total $1000.74

Category Subs
Vendor Date Amount
Subs Mill creek 1/1/07 $14.06
Subs Tanner 3/5/06 $130.00
Total $144.06

And so on€¦

Default beyond advanced filter

I would insert a helper column with values 1,2,3,4,5,..............

Then I would sort on Catagory and copy/paste the specific catagories where
they are needed. The I would re-sort by the helper column to restore the
original order.

Im trying to avoid the cut and past approach and am looking for an auto
mated feature to move the information by the values assigned.
