With the help of the job shown here, you can create a shared project by code, add objects and group them into groups per object type.

static void AddNodeToSharedProject(Args _args)
{
    projectNode projectNode;
    TreeNode treeNode;
    ProjectName projectName = "MyProject";
    
    #AOT
    #AOTExport
    
    void addTreeNodeToProjectNode(treeNode _treeNode)
    {
        TmpIdRef tmpIdRef;
            
        tmpIdRef.clear();
        tmpIdRef.Name = SysTreeNode::getPath(_treeNode);
        tmpIdRef.Mode = SysTreeNode::path2ApplObjectType(tmpIdRef.Name);
        tmpIdRef.useMode = UtilFileType::Application;
        tmpIdRef.insert();
        
        SysProjectFilterRunBase::addProjectNodes(tmpIdRef, projectNode);           
    }

    projectNode    = infolog.projectRootNode();
    projectNode    = projectNode.AOTfindChild(#expProjectShared);
    projectNode    = projectNode.AOTfindChild(projectName);
   
    // Create shared project if neccessary
    if( !projectNode)
    {
        projectNode = SysTreeNode::createProject(projectName, ProjectSharedPrivate::ProjShared);        
    }
    
    // Add objects (and create groups)
    treenode = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath+#AOTRootPath+tableid2name(tablenum(AccountingDistribution)));
    addTreeNodeToProjectNode(treenode);

    treenode = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath+#AOTRootPath+tableid2name(tablenum(VendGroup)));
    addTreeNodeToProjectNode(treenode);
   
    treenode = TreeNode::findNode(#ClassesPath+#AOTRootPath+classStr(PriceDisc));
    addTreeNodeToProjectNode(treenode);

}

In the same way you can also create a private project, simply replace the occurrences of Shared by Private.

The created project looks like this:
