Is there a way to organize applications in GNOME Shell's Applications menu?

Since by default, GNOME organizes its "Applications" pane in alphabetical order, there is always a sprawling mess of applications, and I don't like how it automatically arranges them into categories ("Accessories", "Electronics", "Games", etc). Is there perhaps a shell extension so that I can manually organize my applications in folders or something? Windows-style?

You can install alacarte, which shows up as an app called "Main Menu". You can create your own menus, drag apps (menu items) into them, then uncheck the normal menus / items, and only your custom menus will show up as the categories in the applications pane.
