# Organize Pages In Route Groups
With the Next.js App Router we can organize pages without affecting the URL
path structure by nesting those directories and pages within a _Route Group_. A
Route Group is directory where the name is surrounded by parentheses, e.g.
`/(symbols)`.
For instance, in my [Ruby Operator
Lookup](https://www.visualmode.dev/ruby-operators) project, I have the
following structure:
```bash
$ exa --true src/app/ruby-operators
src/app/ruby-operators
├── (symbols)
│ ├── ampersand
│ │ └── page.mdx
│ ├── arbitrary-keyword-arguments
│ │ └── page.mdx
│ ├── asterisk
│ │ └── page.mdx
│ ├── at-symbol
│ │ └── page.mdx
│ ├── backtick
│ │ └── page.mdx
│ ├── ...
│ └── underscore
│ └── page.mdx
├── client-layout.tsx
├── layout.tsx
├── page.tsx
└── wrapper.ts
```
I'm able to organize all the different symbols and operators under a separate
directory `/(symbol)/`. That makes development easier. However, the end result
routing still has each symbol located directly under `/ruby-operators/`, e.g.
`/ruby-operators/ampersand`.
