Hi and sorry for the late response, somehow I missed it...

Well, my first guess was not, but, on second thought, although I think something could be done till some extent, I'd need to think if it'd really worth it taking into account all the limitations (plus complications) that comes to mind. First off, it should be kinda "faked", since neither Moho nor even the list widget offer anything like that natively, then I'm afraid the best we could get is an extra item e.g. "📁 My Shape Group" (defined probably with the help of point groups 🤔) in the list that would represent one of these "groups" and, below it, the "grouped" shapes being showed with some indent; at most and luckily, maybe the "group" item could "simulate" it is expanded/collapsed by showing/hiding from the list those shape items somehow marked as its children upon doble clicking it, but... little else? I mean, It would be quite something, but plus ease some little tasks like hiding/reordering or so, there weren't many more advantages I can think than alleviate the cluttering in a scenario with many shapes, a scenario for which the tool is not (yet) as capable as I would like, thus...

Anyway I admit it would be a cool feature to count with, but not sure if enough for all the trouble (if finally possible) it would entail trying to introduce something like that... But I'm glad I can have it in mind now just in case, so thank you for the suggestion.
