Visual Studio Server Explorer organization of stored procedures and functions

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and have created MANY functions and stored procedures. VS naturally has folders for Stored Procedures and Functions and that is helpful. However, I have about 50 functions which are all in one big pile albeit sorted alphabetically.

Does anyone know of a way to create sub-folders to help me organize my functions? It would sure help finding the one I need quickly.

To clarify, I am not asking for help in organizing my Solution Explorer. I would like to better organize my Server Explorer.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

SQL Server Management Studio does not allow you to create your own folders - you have to use its pre-defined folder structure. However, you can apply a temporary filter to a folder which should help you find objects quicker. Right click on the folder and select Filter.

Alternatively, you could create your own schemas and organise your functions within these - ie you would have [schema_name].[function_name] rather than [dbo].[function_name].
