I have tried pieces of paper, crib-sheets, spreadsheets and KeyCue.
This simple solution stays up to date and works very well.

This uses SmartGroups in the KM Editor.

I have these standard SmartGroups setting with the Match/Filter field having the filter criteria

The SearchField (top right) is blank

SCOC is SHFT+CTL+OPT+CMD etc. ? is any single character

Matches any of these strings Description

0 enabled:yes h:⌃ h:⌘ 0 Hotkey ⌃⌘ enabled CC+? (CC+?) [SHFT and OPT optional]
1 enabled:yes -h:⇧ h:⌃ -h:⌥ h:⌘ 1 Hotkey ⌃⌘ enabled CC+? (-C-C+?) [NO SHFT and NO OPT]
2 enabled:yes -h:⇧ h:⌃ h:⌥ h:⌘ 2 Hotkey ⌃⌥⌘ enabled COC+? (-COC+?) [NO SHIFT]
3 enabled:yes h:⇧ h:⌃ h:⌥ -h:⌘ 3 Hotkey ⇧⌃⌥ enabled SCO +? (SCO-+?) [NO CMD]
4 enabled:yes h:⇧ h:⌃ -h:⌥ h:⌘ 4 Hotkey ⇧⌃⌘ enabled SCC+? (SC-C+?) [NO OPT]
5 enabled:yes h:⇧ -h:⌃ h:⌥ h:⌘ 5 Hotkey ⇧⌥⌘ enabled SOC+? (S-OC+?) [NO CTL]
6 enabled:yes h:⇧ h:⌃ h:⌥ h:⌘ 6 Hotkey ⇧⌃⌥⌘ enabled SCOC +?
7 enabled:yes -h:⇧ h:⌃ h:⌥ -h:⌘ 7 Hotkey ⌃⌥ enabled - CO - +? [CTL+OPT] Program specific only
8 enabled:yes -h:⇧ -h:⌃ h:⌥ h:⌘ 8 Hotkey ⌥⌘ enabled - - OC +? [OPT+CMD] Program specific only

Some others:-
10 enabled:yes 10 All enabled macros :heart::heart::white_check_mark::white_check_mark:
11 group::sparkle: 11 All Macros with :sparkle: (useful when exporting a selection or
flagging your current working set)
12 enabled:yes mod:3d 12 Recently modified in last 3 days
13 enabled:yes -used:12m 13 Not recently used (in last 12 months)
14 enabled:yes h:r 14 All macros with an R
15 enabled:yes h:r -h:arrow 15 All macros with an R excluding "ARROW" keys

USAGE
Choose appropriate SmartGroup.
Then click on triangle in the macros column to sort by Hotkey.

IMPLEMENTATION

AFAIK you cannot export or import SmartGroup definitions.
The SearchField is blank in the above definitions

Yes and no.

There's no import/export, but you can get and set a Smart Group's search strings using AppleScript.

With a Smart Group selected in the Editor:

tell application "Keyboard Maestro"
	return search strings of smart group id (item 1 of (get selectedMacros))
end tell

...might get you:

{"created:1w", "Modified:1w"}

And to create a new Smart Group with those search strings:

tell application "Keyboard Maestro"
	set newGroup to make new smart group with properties {name:"New Test Smart Group"}
	set search strings of newGroup to {"created:1w", "Modified:1w"}
end tell
