Folders for symbol
There should be a way to organize all symbols (i often use more then 30 symbols per document), it gets very messy in the symbol window. It would be so much easier to organize and keep track of everything with the ability to create folders in the symbol window.

I just learned how to use symbols and it is very helpful with global edits for me. After learning how to use this feature. My next search was to find out if there was a way to create a library for different styles. A bit disappointed this feature is not available but hope to see it available at some point. Would help keep work organized.

I agree, this would be an excellent addition.
We use a large library of symbols so our Symbols window is a very long list. Many of these items are rarely used, or behind-the-scenes symbols that are called out via scripting and don't even need to be visible in our list. If symbols could be grouped like objects in the Layers window it would be a huge help in cleaning-up a very long list of Symbols. Groups could then be collapsed so they don't show the dozens of symbols inside.
This would help in organizing symbols by task, for example, and make it easier to separate the symbols we use every day versus the uncommon ones that might be used once a month.
