How can I organize the outliner with groups?

Question

When I learned the basics of Maya awhile back, they taught us that we could organize and clean the outliner window with groups. Anyway, it doesn't seem that I can hide multiple objects into one grouping in the Outliner in Blender.

Is there another way of doing this?

If you'd like to have groups directly in the "All Scenes" outliner, see this proposal and upvote it if you agree (that doesn't mean it will happen but more votes=more chances) — ChameleonScales, Feb 10 '17 at 13:16

Basically you can use Groups and Parenting to organize your scene.

Grouped objects are displayed hierarchically in the group view.

Parented objects would be displayed hierarchically in the outliner's default view.

See the Outliner Documentation for more detailed information.

I found the "add to group" under the Object's "Object: Object" property pane. – ThorSummoner Jan 11 '16 at 04:07
It is also possible to use layers to organize complex scenes – willy wonka Aug 01 '17 at 15:29
