Description
I keep my ROMs sorted into subdirectories based on region, license, genre, etc. Rather than manually populating RetroArch with tons of custom playlists based on my categorizations, it would be much more convenient (and easier to browse) if the files added to any given playlist from a directory had the option of being sub-listed within that playlist, reflecting the folder structure.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the playlist loading and browsing code, then determine how directory paths are represented; done means a playlist can optionally show sublists that reflect its source folder structure without requiring separate custom playlists.
