Layers in folders
Given that Photoshop can group layers into folders, illustrator should have the same capacity to bring the experience closer together.
It would allow for greater flexibility when editing artwork.

This would be amazing! ...Especially for those working with complex diagrams to be able to group by quality, function, or any other indicator.

Almost 2.5 years later... and Adobe goes the way of Quark Xpress.
Hello, Adobe?... <crickets>

Keeping the hope alive... It's almost as if the folks at adobe are completely out of touch with how professionals actually use their software... as if it's just bunch of programmers and bean counters over there who don't have an artistic bone in their bodies and only see 0's, 1's and $'s....
Nah... that can't be...

I cannot support and encourage this enough. Like other people here I have been using Illustrator since 1.0 and this is the number one improvement that I would make. Please add layers and allow them to be imported or shared with PSD files. This feature is way overdue.

Please PLEASE add this much-needed feature to Illustrator. To not be able to group layers together is quite frankly ridiculous, especially given that Photoshop has had this feature for more years than I care to remember.

When is this feature coming? I can't believe this doesn't have hundreds of votes.

Got to agree, I have been using illustrator since the first version, layers should have shown up a long time ago.

+100 for this simple feature. I've been using Adobe products since the 90's. Folders for layers should have been put in decades ago. If nothing else, at least this would make layers easier to visually organize and show/hide through hierarchical display. And sub-layers are not a substitute.
Why this hasn't been added already is beyond me.

Please add the option to put layers into folders. I can't believe this feature isn't available across the board by now.

100%. For organization of complex artwork (especially when using Illustrator for GUI design mockups) this is essential.

That is a must. For complex projects it is a mess without organising layers in folders (different art-boards must share different layers also). I tried with sub-layers but there are some down-side effect. For example compatibility with other adobe products like Animate, it put each sub-layer in the same layer when importing an illustrator file.

Agreed! It would also let us finally organize massively complex illustrations. Both Photoshop and InDesign have this feature, c'mon guys!

When I use layers in Illustrator I end up with a chaos of layers.
I think that is better if we can organize all layers in folders like Photoshop does.Please, Adobe Illustrator team, add this feature!
