A few suggestions!
By dart, 15 years ago, In English
I was going through the problem archive today, going through them one by one to find a problem related to dynamic programming, but it was very tiresome.
Can the site have a feature in which we can 'sort' problems according to their type?
A feature like tagging, where coders tag problems according to their type,
for example if I solved a problem using some mathematical formula, I would tag that 'math', so it would be easy for someone else in case he is in lookout for mathematical problems, same can be done with DP, graphs etc and taking this idea further the
problems can be further subdivided into other categories, for example
graph -> shortest path or DP -> knapsack.
This feature can be built-in to the problemset link, where one would be able to choose a problem using a drop down box, and see only those problems.
Wouldn't it be beneficial?

I think for many problems , this kind of tagging is the same as giving the solution and It reduces the enjoyment of solving the problem.

    but that will make it easy to find specific problem, and by the way telling someone
    that a problem is DP kind doesn't mean he will be able to solve it ;)

      Yes, About DP , It's right. but take into account the other side of the problem. When you say a problem is Greedy.It's exactly like solving it. 
      And even about DP , consider someone who just likes to solve a variety of problems , when he sees the problem is DP , he won't think about other ways to solve it.
