Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great to place models like GetUsers200Response.php into Models/Responses instead of just Models. When client library becomes huge(100+ models) then some organisation into subfolders might be really helpful.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to generator, when it's on the generator arrange models into Parameters, Responses folders, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tiny hint from maintainers could be great. Where I can find related code, to implement desired feature myself and make PR. @wing328

Research direction

The issue names the php-nextgen generator but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating that generator's model output and option definitions, then trace how model directories are selected. Done means an opt-in option places models into folders such as Parameters and Responses, with the existing default behavior preserved.
