Filter/Sort the classes in problems view based on author in eclipse

I need to filter or sort the warnings in problems,Tasks view based on the author names given in the class.[#author userName]. Is there any way i could configure it. If not can some one give direction to extend the view and add my own either filter or sorting.
Thanks in advance
There doesnt seem to be a way to do this by default, but extending the problems view to add this information seems feasible. See this for example: http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=881
