I know the OP doesn't want to have to move files in the library, but for anyone else looking for ideas for how to organize their Poser content, you might find it helpful to know that you can organize files inside the main Libraries folders pretty much any way you want, with a few limitations. Because this topic comes up a lot, as does the topic of "how many runtimes do you use," I finally wrote a piece on my blog to show how I've extensively organized all my content using only one runtime. If you're curious, you can check it out here: Organizing Poser Assets.

Using multiple runtimes drove me nuts, esp. for items that could plausibly be in more than one runtime, so I found it easier to just use sub-folders within the main Libraries folders to organize by figure or genre or whatever. Makes it easy to find things AND easy to install them (which I always do manually.)

As for using the Favorites option in Poser's library, be aware that it's creating shortcuts with full path references, so if you end up moving an item a shortcut points to to a different folder, the shortcut will break. Given my propensity for moving things around, I don't use Favorites.
