When you scroll through the songs. There are so many songs if your song folder is big. What i request is that you could create sort of folders that open up.
Like in stepmania.

You already can, put the song folders into your own folders, then in-game when sorting, sort by Folder.

I was working on an osu! Genre sorter, but my implementation was too time consuming, and would apparently be defunct once osz2 comes out. You can just do as Sakura says for the time being.

Folder sorting doesn't work with multiple layers of folders. I already put up a bug report on this earlier and it was ignored.

For example:
Songs/layer1/12345 artist - song : works
Songs/layer1/layer2/12345 artist - song :defunct, game can't read this and the mapsets won't show or won't load correctly

This is what i am after. I would like them to work like that so i could sort the songs by artist/beatmap creator.

I meant First make folder of the artist. then subfolder of the creator. You can do that? if you can i'm an idiot.

Why do you need that?

When people have 8000+ maps in their folder they need better organization to access maps easily and efficiently. A person might want to keep a separate folder group for maps to play for practice, a group for maps of certain mappers, a group for maps with certain BPM ranges, a group of maps to play with certain mods, a group of maps that you're currently aiming to get a certain rank/score on, etc. Multiple layers of folders are mandatory once the map amount is high enough which is the case for anybody who's been downloading maps for at least 3 months.

Right now the only way to actually do this is having multiple songs folders and renaming them to Songs_1, Songs_2, etc, and then swapping to use whichever one you want based on your current gameplan which is a pointless hassle. Why can't the game support multiple folder layers?
