I've also got a custom library for certain photos and videos, sorted (by the library view options) by month taken.	pcuser42 (130)

1333982	2013-03-25 02:20:00	They seem a bit inconsistent with handling of network locations. Even to the point that a networked location if it gets removed, when you try to readd it, it complains about lack on indexing. But handy overall - especially if you have a central storage machine	psycik (12851)
1333983	2013-03-25 03:47:00	There's a library tool floating around that can add non-indexed network locations to a library.	pcuser42 (130)
1333984	2013-03-27 04:48:00	I like the idea of how things can be anywhere on the hard drive, and you can just left click and then 'add to library...' makes things so convenient. I just down like the style that they have been implemented in, like the 2 locations in this library or what ever you have in it, as it means that you have to scroll down to get certain folders. I still think that MS could work the library system a bit better by not including a separate user folder ie {User Name} that contains other folders such as downloads and games - Which nobody uses cause of Steam, or so I heard. If that were to happen though many would hate it...	SanChippy (16951)

Libraries have different grouping options, the default is "By folder" (like what you're seeing), and "None" is an option. ;)	pcuser42 (130)
