In SharePoint 2013, you can create folders to organize your lists,
similar to creating folders on your computer. However, for the purposes
of organizing information, adding a folder in a list can interrupt the
display of the captured information.
You could use SharePoint to organize a Class Schedule listing
different Classes, Class Times, and Costs to view at a glance. It would
be helpful to have a folder for Class Descriptions for this scenario.
Preparing an efficient organizational strategy ahead of time to locate,
process, and manage your information is always a best practice.
