Add a "folder-like" group function to organize content types

I believe it would greatly improve the user experience if we can add a "folder-like" grouping function to content types (single type and collection type), so that if you have a lot of content types (for example if you have like 50 webpages, you will have like 50 single types), it really makes a lot more sense to have groups. For now users can only mitigate this by using some naming conventions, but I doubt if this is an elegant solution.

Content-Type folders are live in Strapi 5.55.0! 🎉
Thanks to everyone who voted and shared ideas here. 539 votes made it pretty clear this was needed.
You can now group your collection types and single types into folders:
- Create, rename, move and delete folders right in the Content-Type Builder (up to 3 levels deep)
- The same folder tree shows up in the Content Manager left menu, so editors can find things faster
- The structure lives in src/content-structure/groups.json, so it's versioned with your project
- The CLI generator now asks which folder a new content-type should go in
One thing to know: Data Transfer doesn't carry the folder structure file. Deploy it with your code like any other config.

Upgrade, give it a try, and let us know what you think!

Agree with Laurens Kling proposal. Having an extra field to the schema would make it way simpler.

Thanks Marie. The RFC looks very extensive. Maybe even too extensive. In my opinion, just having a
"folder": "my-folder/my-nested-folder"
in the contentType schema would do the same job. And this would prevent a seperate file, filled with relations that could be invalid or gone.Marie Kirsch
This is currently in development :)

I have visually implemented the grouping function through DOM manipulation, which may be an alternative solution before the official plugin is released. You can download and try it if needed
