We are having a discussion about our orders. Right now its a dumping grounds but I don't see any other way to utilize it. Is there some way to organize the orders? Folder for labs, folder for x-rays, folder for PT, etc etc etc etc...
Thoughts?

Oh, the beloved Orders...
I'm not sure where you are looking for the organization by the categories you mentioned, but you certainly can and should arrange your orders into categories via Administration. Look under:
Administration > Codes > Charts > Codes and Categories
From there you need to decide if your code is type: Referral, Service, or Test and Procedures
Chose the type by clicking on the appropriate choice. Then you can begin creating categories for that order type. The process from there is pretty straightforward. You click "new", name your category, then begin dropping in the actual orders.
You can also create order custom lists, which allow you to further group orders into, well, custom lists. Order custom lists let you set headers and arrange the individual orders any way you choose.
Order Custom Lists make groups of orders of any type accessible in the orders module. You have a drop-down to select the order custom list of your choosing.
Hope that helps. We all need all the help we can get with these buggers.
Your VAR or GE (if you are direct) should train you on this and/or provide support. I'm happy to help as well so feel free to ping me if any of the above needs clarification.

Wow, thanks for the thorough response. Sadly, that wasn't what I was talking about. I am talking about what is in this attachment.
Right now there is no organization to this. x-rays mixed in with medications and what have you. I would like to organize it more like the documents are organized, with sub-folders. Any way to do that?

Not ideal but you could use the Organize button. It allows up to 3 levels of sorting so that you could sort by, say, Type, then Status, then Date or some other scheme. Unfortunately there isn't a global for this and has to be set by each individual user.
