I remember I saw a way to organize the columns by folders but cant find the syntax.  
Who knows what I’m talkin about?

It doesn’t group in the data editor. The grouping takes effect in the column and screen component configuration dialogs.

Got it.  
Thought I could get a cleaner data editor, I have over 150 columns in one table.

I know what you mean. But grouping together with the column search/filter can help make that more manageable.
