To structure the content in TinkerList, you can use annotations. These annotations are labels you can put on cards so you can easily search and filter through the project.

Creating these annotations is rather easy, by defining different categories and picking custom colors and icons.

You can find the annotations edit module inside the settings menu on the top right of the side bar. Don't see the gear icon? You're probably don't have the rights to access this menu since this is an admin only feature.
