I think this is what I have done in cases like that. Your N agents are
currently in one giant list, right?  That's OK, but do this too:

Create K separate lists, and put those lists into a Swarm Array.  Then
sort the agents into these lists.  Then plot an average line for each
separate list. See what I mean?

This is pretty easy as long as your K does not change. If subgroups are
added or removed, then some fancy footwork is necessary.  Sven Thomessen
worked out a thing we have been using for that kind of problem, it
involves createing a sequence and storing its name before inserting it
into a graph, and then using that stored name to remove it.
