            - 'ByTrunkPort' — Groups trunk ports (ports with tagged VLANs) into a "Trunk Ports" subcontainer. Higher priority than ByVLAN — prevents trunk ports from being grouped by VLAN.

            - 'ByPortOpStatus' — Groups ports by operational status (Up, Down, etc.) into per-status subcontainers.
