      I have a lot of custom collections. There are some collections related to each other, while other type of collections aren't related. In example, I have bunch of collections for different genres and some others specifically for (what I call them for) insider tips. I wish, the the collections could be saved in different folders, like it is allowed for roms. I save roms for Homebrew and for modified games in a different subfolder of systems roms folder.

      The way I handle them currently is to prefix all of them to have a group. Because I use Prefix, the names have to be a little short. I have 4 custom collections with prefix "Classic" (acts like as in NES Classic Mini), 14 prefix as "Genre" (like Genre SHMUP), 4 prefix as "Insider Tips" (like Insider Tips for SNES) and currently 3 "Other".

      And there is one non categorized collection, which cannot be renamed to be recognized as system collection (got from the option Create New Custom Collection From Theme). But this one appears as a system on the main frontend and not as a list in custom collections, which is exactly what it should does.

      Would this be possible or is the current code to complex to integrate folders in custom collection?
