How would you like the feature to work?

Using information gleaned from the marketplace categories and contents data from individual product listings provide a button on the Inventory window that can be clicked to auto create categories and move objects into these folders.

Structure example of a new folder called Categorized below. The reason for the separate folder is to avoid damaging the structure of existing folders like Clothing, Objects, etc. that users already have set up the way they want.

-Categorized +Complete Avatars +Heads +Bodies +Tattoos +Hair +Shoes +Tops +Bottoms +Gloves +Wings +Tails

+Art +Buildings +Business +Celebrations +Games +Bars and Clubs +Adult +Food and Drink +Traffic +Sports +Parks +Weapons +Home and Garden +Misc +Vehicles

+Breedables +Pets +Mounts +Other

Preferably items that exist in folders would move along with their folders and not be moved out of their folders individually. As products are generally kept together with the contents they arrived with.

In addition provide a second button that can move items that were accidentally put in the wrong folders. For example if a sound or gesture is in the Scripts folder, it will arrange them into the Sounds and Gestures folder respectively.

It is important both of these features actually move the items from where they were. Otherwise you're just making more of a mess.

Also, it is important that this is a manual decision made by the user when clicking a button on the inventory with a popup dialog that warns them it is about to move and arrange items in their inventory.

Update 03/18/23: Before confirming and moving the item(s) show a new Preview Window popup that shows a tree of items that would be moved that the user can glance through. If they decide they don't like that certain items can be moved they can uncheck them to not include them in the move. This could work similar to the import window in the Package Manager in the Unity game engine for addons. That way, once they've seen what will be moved they can decide to cancel or accept the move and feel more comfortable with the result. And, this would reduce the number of times users would have to contact support over the feature due to it moving something they didn't want moved. Time permitting an undo move feature would be useful as well and would also reduce pressure on the support team.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

Inventories are starting to become very difficult to organize. Some people try to organize them manually, other have given up and some want to but it is overwhelming. Having a button that automatically does at least some categorization, however imperfect, would be useful. Linden Labs has access to the names of objects, their contents names, and which categories they reside in on the marketplace. Using this information they could auto-categorize most if not all products currently residing in inventories.
