Sorting by speed, plus an icon for higher power cables, covers almost all real world uses. It would not have to be complex, and would not nullify the point of a single port/cable.

Even just marking speed would mean a cable never unexpectedly fails to do its job.

Worth mentioning that USB Type C is the plug and it is indeed universal. The protocols are a whole different matter and finding a good cable is a challenge.

Or for that matter even knowing which ports on a device are which. I have a tablet that has two usb-c ports. Only one will charge the device.

They should've just color coded the connectors to capabilities... Like with USB 1/2/3 as black-white/blue/red

Now they had a new form so they could've just used black for charging, blue for some data and red for display. I guess that ship sailed already though.
