one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;
receiving an input that corresponds to a request to create a folder that contains a first item and a second item, the first item having a name and a plurality of category descriptors and the second item having a name and a plurality of category descriptors;
in response to receiving the input;
creating the folder that contains the first item and the second item;
determining a first plurality of category descriptors that are associated with the first item;
determining a second plurality of category descriptors that are associated with the second item;
determining that the first plurality of category descriptors and the second plurality of category descriptors share at least a first common category descriptor;
in response to determining that the first plurality of category descriptors and the second plurality of category descriptors share at least a first common category descriptor;

Abstract
A multifunction device displays a plurality of selectable user interface objects on the display. In response to detecting the first input, the device moves a first object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects across the display to a location on the display that is proximate to a second object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects. In response to detecting that the first input meets predefined folder-creation criteria while the first object is proximate to the second object, the device creates a folder that contains the first object and the second object.
