[Paraview] new property panel, widget order question

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Alas, this is working as it was designed for. Group "labels" are not
treated as unique keys. Every time a distinct group is found it gets
added to the panel. We could add a mechanism to add group "names" and
keep them unique and merge properties together, but that would need
some coding.
