When you drag an app over another app and it creates a folder, how is the folder name determined? I assumed it was the category name of the app you're dragging, but that doesn't always seem to be the case. At least when Apple apps are involved. Examples:

Drag SoundHound over Notes -> Music (this makes sense)
Drag Notes over SoundHound -> Productivity
Drag Notes over Settings -> Utilities
Drag Notes over Passbook -> Productivity
Drag Notes over Voice Memos -> Utilities
Drag Voice Memos over Notes -> Business

Right, just trying to understand. I'll stop thinking about it until iOS7 comes out and I check it out there.

I am probably wrong on this, but I feel like they have tags on them in the play store, so then the way the system is it can figure out what to call the folders due to the tags on them

Yes, it appears to be the category name of the app you're dragging (as I mentioned above). My question was how it works for the Apple apps, because as you can see from the examples, that breaks down. Not a big deal, just thought there might be a dev that knew.
