In the Administration Tool it's handled via child presentation tables:

The Semantic Modeler is a bit less "logical". You have to go onto the Subject Area, then arrange your presentation tables in the exact order you want and then once a table is visually below its intended parent in the list, you click "Move Left"

To add, please refer product documentation on Nesting Folders in Answers and BI Composer here : https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/bi12214/biee/BIEMG/GUID-53710E36-EAA9-4B31-804E-099514C9DB41.htm#presentationlayer

You can also put → symbol in the description and the folder above becomes a parent folder.

You can also put → symbol in the description and the folder above becomes a parent folder.

Quick clarification:

When you add a "-" character into the Description attribute of a Presentation Table object, that table becomes a child of which ever presentation table is before it in the sort order.

It does not become a parent folder.

This way of managing parent and child folders dates back to Siebel Analytics days and is the old way / predecessor of using child presentation tables as part of the configuration object. It works as detailed here in this post.

Ref. https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/11119/biee/BIEMG/presentationlayer.htm

"In previous releases, repository developers could achieve one level of nesting by adding a hyphen at the beginning of a presentation table name, or by adding an arrow (->) at the beginning of the presentation table description."
