[FEATURE REQUEST] Folders for VMs / Containers

[TMKC]

The Proxmox UI is GREAT. It has pretty much everything you need.

But there is one thing that is missing in my opinion. And that is Folders for VMs and Containers.
Right now, all the VMs and Containers shows up in a numbered list from 100 to whatever max you have, and containers always goes above VMs by default.

It would be nice to have it like in the Adobe suite where you can make a folder and put VMs / containers in folders.
So if you run multiple different VMs that do different tasks, you can put for example Home Automation related VMs / containers in one folder, Public VMs / containers in one etc.

This would greatly improve the UI., at least in my opinion.

Yes, I tried that. While it does SOME of the work, it is not quite what I want.
I want to basically be able to create a "custom" folder to sort things like "Home Automation", "Public" etc into its own categories so that I can categorize things for a easier over-all view. Maybe not super effective for those with one or two nodes with just a few VMs / Containers, but what if you have maybe 20-25.... Categorizing into folders would help out ALOT.

Could be maybe covered by the in-development "tag view": https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4441
