How organize uploaded media in WP?

I am new in WordPress and I came from Joomla. How can I (if I can do it...) organize the uploaded media into folder and subfolder using WordPress?

If I go in my backend administration panel I have the Media sub panel in which I can add a file (for example a jpg image). The problem is that all the files are added in the same library.

I want to organize my library having subcategory\subfolder in which the uploaded file are placed.

For example I want have category image for: "Spring articles images" and "project management articles image", etc.

How can do it?

The specific folder where the image files are stored in WordPress is called the uploads folder located inside the /wp-content/ folder.
