It already is separated. Here are all the SP routes over 5.4 (or whatever difficulty you choose) in difficulty:

It seriously takes about a few seconds to separate them on your own at whatever criteria you choose (i.e. harder than 5.8 or easier than class 3).
Thanks, and thanks again for showing how easy it is. My apologies to Matt et al. for suggesting we needed a stronger search function. However, with YDS, 5.7 can come up even if it is a scramble with one 12' section (e.g. Lady Mountain Cable route), so maybe future contributors can be more cognizant of what they enter in "route type." In this case Dow did the right thing, and marked it as a scramble, yet retained the 5.7 rating for the one short pitch.
In an earlier example, borut searched for "mixed" in the route type and got a hodgepodge of 244 examples. But he didn't specify anything else; how could he have set up a better search?
EDIT: Maybe we should put a few examples in the faq, and put the FAQ link at the top of the page in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS?
