            You can do this using a GNOME shell extension called "Appfolders Management extension".



            It's




            An easy way to manage "appfolders" (folders in the applications view) directly from the applications view.




            Right click on an app icon and you'll get the options:



            enter image description here



            Alternatively you may use an application called GNOME App Folders Manager for the same purpose.

              It is possible with terminal.



              I want to create a app folder named AV and I want my audio and video apps in it.



              gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children


              Example:



              $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children
              
['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']




              1. Adding new entry "AV": 



                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST', 'AV']"


                Example:



                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST', 'AV']"
                
$



              2. Putting .desktop files in AV folder: 



                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ apps "['audacious.desktop', 'mpv.desktop']"


                Example:



                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ apps "['audacious.desktop', 'mpv.desktop']"
                
$


                enter image description here

                It created a folder with required apps without any folder name.




              3. Giving required name to the folder: 



                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAV'


                Example:



                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAV'
                
$


                enter image description here

                *You can rename the folder name at anytime



                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAVfav'


                Example:



                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAVfav'
                
$


                enter image description here




              4. Removing the created folder in future (or you can say go back to default):



                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']"


                Example:



                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']"
                
$

                              3














                              It is possible with terminal.



                              I want to create a app folder named AV and I want my audio and video apps in it.



                              gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children


                              Example:



                              $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children
                              
['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']




                              1. Adding new entry "AV": 



                                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST', 'AV']"


                                Example:



                                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST', 'AV']"
                                
$



                              2. Putting .desktop files in AV folder: 



                                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ apps "['audacious.desktop', 'mpv.desktop']"


                                Example:



                                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ apps "['audacious.desktop', 'mpv.desktop']"
                                
$


                                enter image description here

                                It created a folder with required apps without any folder name.




                              3. Giving required name to the folder: 



                                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAV'


                                Example:



                                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAV'
                                
$


                                enter image description here

                                *You can rename the folder name at anytime



                                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAVfav'


                                Example:



                                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/AV/ name 'myAVfav'
                                
$


                                enter image description here




                              4. Removing the created folder in future (or you can say go back to default):



                                gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']"


                                Example:



                                $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders folder-children "['Utilities', 'Sundry', 'YaST']"
                                
$
