Is there a way to filter assembly constraints so that they would be arranged by the component that they are associated with? For example when applying mating conditions in NX-4 a menu would pop up showing constraints related to each component. As you can see in the attached picture it is difficult to see which assembly constraints apply to a specific component (ie: PROJ_SPRING_001).
 
You can see the constraints applied to an individual component by first selecting the component in the Assembly Navigator tree, and then opening up the "Dependencies" window, then finally clicking on the "Detailed View" (magnifying lens icon).

I do think it would be kind of nice to be able to sort constraints by component WITHIN the "Constraints" list in the Assembly Navigator tree, rather than having to do the above steps.
 
Yes, all you do is go to the Assembly Navigator, Open the 'Dependencies' panel, select the Component of interest and then click the 'Magnifying Glass' icon on the Dependencies panel and you will get something which looks like this...
