I normally use amarok, I wanted to try rhythmbox, but I already have
sorted my musik in my folders. So it would be nice that there were
possible to sort the songs no just by artist, album, title, gener, trak,
etc, but also by folder, I mean, if I could order, or make a new playlist
sorted by my folders it would be esasy, now I have to look a lot, and not
all the music that I have in the same folder fits with the same artist, or
album, etc etc,

The second tip, is that it would be also more easy that once you create a
play list you can add a file or a folder to this playlist directly,
because of the same think, it is faster to do it like this, than to start
looking where are the songs that one normally has in a known folder.

I can't speak for the developers, but I know that Rhythmbox intends to not access the filesystem directly. Rather than need to spend your time organizing your music in folders, you can organize it as music directly in Rhythmbox.

Personally, I do use an external tool (MusicBrainz Picard) to sort my music into folders, but that is a separate process and does not affect my daily organizational habits for my music.
