Can you include the ability to add custom metadata fields? Fields could be applied to both credentials and connections. Fields be of type: Free Text, Multiple Choice, numeric(etc.). Then add ability to sort those by the metadata.
Example:
Add fields: Type; Stage;App
Type can be pick list and contain: Server;Switch;Desktop
Stage can be pick list and contain: PROD;STAGE;TEST;DEV
App can be Checkbox and contain: Fax Farm;Exchange;Sharepoint
The Both connections and credentials can be further classified using the metadata.
When displaying objects, add ability to sort by metadata( not just tree view: file/folder) and select multiple metadata items to sort by.
Tree-folder view would be used to control the inheritance capability.

Add fields: Type; Stage;App

Stage can be pick list and contain: PROD;STAGE;TEST;DEV
