I will comment -- I think it is a good idea. I don't have time to do
it myself, and I think it won't be easy, but I still think it is a
good idea. 8-)
Probably the easiest way to do that is to make a new Options module
separate-only, and use the item_add_action to sort out the option
settings when the item is ordered.
WRT fixing what is there now, I think we need to sort on the
*options* table with o_sort,o_group for the separate widget type.
