How do I save new templates in categories?

I've got too many of my own Templates in the Pages Templates folder in Application Support and need to group them by categories, eg Letters, Forms, Application Letters and so on. I tried creating the relevant sub-folders in the Templates folder but Pages ignored the categorisation while including all the Templates that were in the sub-folder in the Template Chooser.

Standard Apple Templates are already sorted by Category - how can I make my own templates follow this pattern?

You have to create several sub-folders. You have to sort them into the folders your self.

And this is what it will look like in the Template Chooser

Tak!

That's just what I was trying to do, thanks! Do you know if there's a way to move the "My Templates section up so it is the first section in the list? I only ever use my own templates and it's annoying to have to scroll all the way down to get to the ones I am most likely to use.

The My Template will alway be the last section. You can't chagne that. What you can do is put you favorite templates in one subfolder and name it so it will be thwe first of the subfolders. It is an alphabetical order.
