Ha, I dealt with some of those.

The other challenge was customers who wanted groups to show up in a particular order. Since it's was literally just an array (no keys), it was just a giant alphabetized list.

Then the problem came when people used group count limits. Your group "AppDev" was always fine but "TestGroup7" may not be.. depending on how many groups the user was in and/or how they filtered those groups.

Figuring out that one out was terrible.
