How to group FOLDERS in Windows 7?

Question

Windows

Good day to all.
The question has been tormenting me for more than one year, and every time I encounter hopelessness, I just give up on it, but it boils up again, burns out, and this time I decided to ask other people how they fight this issue and in what ways.
I am a web designer and I have a lot of my work that I try to structure on my computer so that at the right time I can get any source and use it without spending a long time searching.
An option is to create a folder "Works" and in this folder create categories for example "Logos", "Business cards", "Websites" and in each of these folders create the works themselves. This option is not suitable, the nesting hierarchy is too large, inconvenient and not practical.
Now I use another system for myself, there is a common folder "Works" in it there are folders of all works that belong to the above categories. To separate everything, I use: -
view - large icons or small icons
- sorting by name
- grouping by name 9 (digital range) - from A to H (Russian alphabet) - from R to Z (Russian alphabet) ... and so on QUESTION how to set up sorting not by the range from A to H, but by each letter so that folders can be separated whose name begins with the letter and A and folders that begin with the letter B ?
I dug everywhere and found that there are (keywords and tags) for sorting files cool, BUT! PSD is not a file and does not have such data, folders in Windows 7 also do not have the ability to attach a keyword to them.
The issue of sorting is a painful topic for me, and I can’t solve it in any way.
OBJECTIVE Sort all the works into categories and display everything on one page, with the ability to collapse and expand the desired categories.
PS Folders, in my opinion, are the most basic tool in Windows, as the developers did not allow them to be sorted in a normal human way. After all, these are very simple tasks that every second person has to assign a value or property to a folder and enable sorting.
I sincerely ask for help, maybe someone knows how to implement this.

Answer 1

Folders are not a tool for working with Windows, they are a tool for working with the file system, which is the same everywhere, with slight differences, and you are mistaken if every second person has such tasks.
Assigning a value to a folder and custom fields is not a problem. But you are confusing the file system and the project management system.
Many people just come up with convenient folder naming and that's enough.
Many people use suitable cataloging tools.
Standard utilities will not sort by custom fields - you will need to write your own file manager.
You can write your own application that will sort everything the way you want, and store the path to the folder and any additional attributes in the database, and you can do anything, search, filter, and so on. And you will search for everything you need for your application.
As a simple option, you can save a text file with the parameters you need in each folder, and search by keywords, displaying folders with these files. But even in this case, it will be more convenient to use an external file manager - FAR, Windows Commander.
And in * nix file systems, in general, custom fields cannot be made.

Answer 2

Libraries!!! Well, where else to group? You can add all your 7-8 folders to at least 10 different libraries, here's 70-80 different options for you.
