If you are using iCloud Photos on a Mac, you can create albums and arrange the albums in nested folders. The folders will be visible on other devices - iPad, iPhone, other Macs, also at www.icloud.com in the Photos.app in the sidebar with the albums. That makes it easy to manage thousands of albums in Photos.
