Well, the current implementation of category names is a bit less than what you describe you have implemented for fieldsets. At least in 4.7. It is merely an additional field within the profile fields table and there is no weighting allowed. Hence, the categories are displayed in alphabetical order.
<br><br>In addition to setting up a separate table, which I called profile_fieldsets, I just included a parent field in the table so the code can be expanded at some point.<br><br>> My admin interface is<br>> incomplete as yet (clients were happy to have it configured manually

In essence, I just copied the profile module, renamed it profilefieldsets, stripped out everything from the resulting module that dealt with the user level and kept things that dealt with the profile fields, modifying it to deal with profile fieldsets.
