Export as parts

I have a beautiful drawing. It has 91 parts. If I want to properly color these parts for my 5-filament printer, I have to export 91 files, one at a time, then import 91 files, one at a time, then color them.
Suggestion: multiple export
I should be able to select some parts, right click, and have an option of "multiple export". The selected parts would export as <partname>.<whatever>. All 91 files in essentially one mouse click.
I should be able to rearrange the parts by dragging so that, for example, all the parts that comprise the right side are all together, so I can select all the parts from "window_start_right" to "window_end_right" as contiguous parts. Note how the parts are intermingled based on some apparently random order, such as creation order, instead of a useful order.
FOLLOWUP:
Note in the above image, I have selected all the elements on the right hand side. These will fit on my print bed. Note that the parts selected appear to be highlighted in the list of parts. So, after tediously exporting all the parts marked as selected, I imported them into PrusaSlicer, and got this result:
So, given the display of highlighted parts from the previous image, why were all the other parts included? It appears they were highlighted in the parts list without being highlighted in the picture.
