 * I wonder if there is a way to category custom fields so that only relevant custom
   fields would show up when their corresponding post type is used.

 * Sorry for the delay in responding… for some reason I’m not getting notified on
   forum posts any more.
 * Not sure what you mean. What do you mean by “when their corresponding post-type
   is used”? Custom fields are associated to post-types… what do you mean by “relevant”?
 * If you can be more specific, then we can file a feature in the issue tracker:

 * Hi fireproofsocks
 * Sorry for my confusing question. What I wanted to ask is that I have created 
   many field types and I don’t want them to appear on every single post. I wanted
   to category field types, so that only assigned categories would appear on a selected
   post type. Hope it is clear.

 * If I understand you correctly, then this is already implemented: you create as
   many post-types as you want, then you choose which fields you want to appear 
   on each. That’s a fundamental part of the plugin’s functionality.
 * If you’re talking about having one set of fields on one post and another set 
   of fields on another when both posts are the SAME post-type, then I’d argue that
   that’s a bad idea.
