| 1. A computer-aided data-organization support method for classifying data into a plurality of groups, the method comprising:
displaying a group window for displaying a hierarchy of all of the plurality of groups in a first display area on a computer
screen, each of the groups having elements;
arraying and displaying a first number of contents-view windows in a second display area on the computer screen, each of the
contents-view windows being capable of being set to display or not display a list of elements of each group;
classifying the data on the computer screen, including:
selecting an element displayed in a first contents-view window in which a list of elements is displayed;
shifting the element from the first contents-view window to a second contents-view window;
if the element is shifted to the second contents-view window, then processing data to decide a group to which the element
belongs, the group corresponding to the second contents-view window;
selecting a group displayed in the group window;
if the group is selected, then setting a contents-view window corresponding to the group to be of contents-view-state where
a list of elements of the group is displayed, and displaying the contents-view window in the second display area;
releasing selection of the group; and
if selection of the group is released, then setting the contents-view window corresponding to the group to be of non-contents-view-state
where the list of elements of the group is not displayed, and displaying the contents-view window of non-contents-view-state
with other contents-view windows of contents-view-state in the second display area; and
storing at least one result of the data classification.
