Feature description

I would like to have folders in the app drawer, similar to on the home screen.

Why do you want this feature?

Better/cleaner app drawer organization.

This issue would solve some of the same needs, but each has its own benefits, so I would love to see both implemented.

Additional information

One way I've seen this implemented was that the folders were all at the top of the app drawer, before individual apps. In that instance, they were kept in order of creation, though it might be nice to choose a different sort order.

That implementation allowed apps to be in more than one folder. I would be fine with that, or with apps in only one folder each.

Again in that implementation, if apps were in any folder, they would not be shown in the app list. I would be fine with that, or if they were just left in the app drawer (so that I just had to hide them into the "Manage hidden items" screen).

I'm currently hiding apps and using the (now archived) App Launcher to partially meet this need, but I'm limited by having only one App Launcher when I'd like one or two more.
