How do I group icons in the Start menu of Windows 8?

The tiles in Windows 8 ModernUI are just all on that scrolling page (the new "Start Menu"). Like the old iOS had several pages, Windows 8 has these third of a page spaces to align the icons/tiles.

But is it possible to make a group/folder of tiles (and maybe even give a group name)? (Like Folders in iOS)

Yes it is (for groups at least), see here:

It looks to be as simple as clicking and dragging, either from a group to another, or to create a group from a group to a new area / empty space.

You can also re-order groups by zooming out (e.g. hold Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel, then clicking and dragging it about.

Naming a group is done by zooming out then right clicking, or swiping downwards to get a dialog box to name it.

You can also pin folders to the start screen, as per here http://www.howtogeek.com/107451/how-to-pin-apps-or-folders-to-the-metro-start-screen-in-windows-8/

but that will only open it in explorer.
