VLC Media Library and music folders

Hi,
I am trying to use Media Library and I've put my entire music collection folder into it and I am using the "Display playlist tree". What happens is that the next time I open VLC, the Media Library is displaying all of my music as one huge playlist, instead of folders.
Why?
PS: Is it possible for Media Library to display sub-folders before music tracks when I expand the main folder (in which I have some unsorted music)?

The same effect occurs when the playlist is saved and loaded again, although the playlist is broken down into sub-folders.
Here is an excerpt a playlist with three subfolders that are not shown:
