You can use MDC for this.
In your code:
MDC.put("Key", "blabla");
In the appender PatternLayout:
%X{Key)
If you use the LogFilePatternReceiver you can add in the 'format':
PROP(Key)
When post-processing in Chainsaw you can filter on PROP.Key == blabla
You can order on this property by double-clicking the column in chainsaw.
Hope this helps,
