If you mean visually, I think a straightforward "view priority" or
something along those lines property is the solution to this (this
problem is common to basically anything that shows all controls, not
just ingen).

Priority 0 would be a small number of high level controls that should be
visible whenever any control are (e.g. overall gain), Priority 1 would
be slightly more low level controls (e.g. filter cutoff), and so on.
Priorities could be associated with groups as well as ports to make
things more managaeable.

Easy enough, just needs doing.
