Proposed are a data-organization support method for efficient
user-initiative on-screen data classification and a program product for
achieving the data-organization support method. A data file, a correction
of items to be classified is loaded to display a classification window
having a group window and several item (contents-view) windows. An
on-screen operation, such as, shifting an item over the item windows
initiates item processing such as change in a group to which the item
belong. An on-screen operation, such as, shifting a group in the group
window initiates group processing such as displaying the contents of the
group or change in group hierarchy. The results of classification are
reflected on the group window and stored as a classification history.
