Not really, the list being presented -is- the revisited list.
You use -9 if mobile, -7 if you want to indicate a D7...
-9 if you dont.  These are only suggestions.  There is no
rule that fits all 20,000 applications.

Reducing map clutter is why APRSdos has the JUST command so
one can display Just mobiles, Just WX, Just DIGIS, Just objects,
Just vessles, Just Active, Just HF, Just VHF, Just S where S can
be any symbol.... by hitting just two keys.. JX...  not much,
but it helps...
