What's the point of stars in Dropbox?

What is the point of stars if you cannot group or organize them into a folder? How do I go through a huge body of photos and choose the ones I will then work on to edit?  I starred them but now have zero way to group them. I mean this is a feature in yahoo mail for god's sake, why not in dropbox???HALP!!

    Starring a file only serves to have that file appear on your Dropbox home page for quick access. It doesn't allow for grouping or any other purpose.
