Putting Reports in Folders

Using Visual Studio I am trying to arrange my reports.
Here is what I have found:
1. I cannot create folders in Visual Studio.
2. I can deploy individual reports after changing the project property
(destination folder) to have reports arranged in folders.
3. I can deploy multiple projects - each landing in different folders
to have reports arranged in folders.
4. I can deploy a project the vanilla way then in Report Manager move
reports to other folders.
My disappointment is with number 1.
Number 2 is a pain in the neck.
If I do number 3, I have to have so many Data Sources defined it's a
mess.
Number 4 is so much work, I hate it.
HERE'S THE QUESTION
What's the best way to do it?
Thanks in advance.
JerryI am doing #3 & have a folder on Report Manager to share the Data sources.
Data sources still are moved along with the reports to their corresponding
folders. I moved those ones to the shared Data Sources folder, and it works
pretty good for me.
