QGIS Layers – Creating Sub Sections (Groups) of Layers in QGIS

group-layerlayersqgis

I am working on a project regarding Fish species and fishing methods with many layers.

This creates confusion.

I would like to create layer sub sections (groups) like the following:

  • Fish Species

    • species 1
    • species 2
    • species 3

  • Fishing Methods

    • method 1
    • method 2
    • method 3

and so on.

Possibly even a 2nd level sub section (layer group).

I have no idea how to tackle this.

I'm using QGIS 2.4.

To clarify an image of the project is below.

If you right-click in the Layer's window, there should be an Add group option. Select this to create sub-sections by dragging your layers into it.
