How do you organize your triggers?

You simply put them in different folders. Here's how I do:
General - general stuff like starting resources/units, variables that have to be set on start, player leaving triggers and so on
Messages/Commands - informative messages and commands (multiplayer)
Gameplay - events during the game, win/lose triggers etc.
Leaderboard/Multiboard
Abilities
AI
You just group triggers by their function so you can easily find them when you need.

Is there a way to have subfolders? It always bugged me that I can't.
I have them organised in folders (though some of it is kind of poorly organised). It at least cuts them into chunks of code like Hero abilities, Boss abilities, initialization, player message commands... etc
I've lately been trying to keep it cleaner, so what I've been doing is adding comments (there is a button beside the Create New Trigger button) and using those to mark sections. It's basically like --- Hero Name --- and then the triggers related to that hero. This was my solution to lack of subfolders.

I think the problem was that my scripts were all in the same. For example I had a "city" trigger containing 5-7 very different triggers all related to a city-unit.
Now I just made a city-category instead: and each trigger is on its own. Like sylvie suggested. Don't know why I put everything into a single 'trigger' before. ;D

I wrote it in vjass, but i think I exaggerated the small number of trigger pages. ;p

Oh well that was never a problem for me. Simply this:
Initialization
Miscellaneous
Abilities
AI
Leave Game (only if it's a multiplayer map)
Victory and Defeat
These are the bases. According to the map, there will be more folders of course.
