The following is not "really" a module, but it's very useful... and I love useful things 
In the list of Prestashop modules, a point has always bothered me: Partners and pay modules go up and mix with the modules installed on the site, which makes it often a totalbrothel err... mess to navigate.
Did you notice the number on the top left corner: 185 modules in a fresh install
I had already looked a little how to remedy this point on version 1.6 without finding a satisfactory solution... but the good news about PS 1.7 is that it becomes relatively easy to do! (by cons I did not say it was clean way)
The modification must be made in a part of Prestashop that is not suchargeable, nor overrided, so it is necessary to slighty modify one line in a core file in 'src/Core/Addon/Module/ModuleRepository.php'
Magic! Now the modules quantity are dropped from 185 to 4... for sure it's will more easy to find your stuff now
Now the the number on the top left corner is only 4 on a fresh install
In fact, the list of Prestashop modules is now as it always must be, but this was never corrected by Prestashop (perhaps on purpose?) and we already are on 1.7.5.1 now.
As the modification must be applied in the core system, you will find a folder with 3 files:

Tip: If you noticed it, there is [Custom] in the title, so if you type Custom in the Search box, and hit Enter, you will see all my custom modules.

As the modification must be applied in the core system, you will find a folder with 3 files:
- 'ModuleRepository': It's the modified file with filter added
- 'ModuleRepository_Original-BackUp': The name speak by himself, it's back-up form the original file.
- 'ModuleRepository_With-filter-BackUp': it's back-up form the modified file, because during update the 'ModuleRepository' modified file will be remplaced by the one from the upgrade, so you must repeat the operation and replace the file again.
