I desperately need the ability to group/categorize my notes (mostly labeled 
highlights) into different folders and subfolders in the notes pane.  In the 
ebook I'm currently reading as part of my research, I'm up to 59 notes and all 
I've finished is the Preface and the Introduction.  Especially given that it 
was an introduction - I know the author will touch on many of these things in 
more detail later, but I don't want to miss anything of importance or anything 
that is more clearly explained the first time around.  So I need to the ability 
to go back when I've finished a book, create folders and subfolders for certain 
topics and sub-topics, and then drag and drop my highlights and underlines into 
those folders.  This is especially crucial when reading ebooks/articles by 
authors who jump around a lot.  I could give my notes pane better organization 
than they gave their book/article.  

I found the following post that touches on this, but the guy is just told no (I 
don't know what RFEs are).  

Is the feature there and I'm just not finding it?  Is there a better feature 
built into skim that I should use instead?

This feature is a game-breaker for me.  Any help is appreciated.

        No, you can search the RFEs for the more detailed answer.
