When I 1st used the POS I wondered also about that. I then asked Andrew Zenesky, who wrote the POS, and he told me that, as is, the
UI was only intended as a demo. Also the POS was mostly wrote for a large retailler. The idea behind it is that much of the time
there will be too much products to be shown on screen and actually a bar code scanner is used. I believe we could use categories to
organize the screen, but so far nobody contributed on this side.

OOTB I don't think so. Of course it's open source and you can certainly write something for that...
