Description

Checkstyle site has a nice grouping of rules into categories:

• Standard Checks
  • Annotations
  • Block Checks
  • Class Design
  • Coding
  • Duplicate Code
  • Headers
  • Imports
  • Javadoc Comments
  • Metrics
  • Miscellaneous
  • Modifiers
  • Naming Conventions
  • Regexp
  • Size Violations
  • Whitespace

Having these categories in the report, when listing rules, would give useful organization
