ABSTRACT:
In a graphical user interface, a method for automatically subdividing the objects and for grouping the objects into folders or container objects and for representing these folders instead of the associated objects. The grouping is based on one or more of the attributes of the objects, e.g. the object name, the size, the last update. The grouping is particularly useful when many objects are to be represented and it would be difficult to handle all the objects and to display them on the desktop. Nested groups can be created inside other groups when needed.
