Models/Controllers in subfolders for rails?

I'm trying to keep the application as neat and tidy as possible because it could get quite large. Already a few days into it I've noticed the following pattern in the models:

models/
    prefix_file.rb
    prefix_file2.rb
    prefix_file3.rb
    file.rb
    prefix2_file.rb
    prefix2_file2.rb

Is there anyway to organise the models directory into subfolders?

You can namespace your files in directories and use modules.

For example 

models/
  prefix/
    file.rb
    file2.rb
    file3.rb
  prefix2/
    file.rb
    file2.rb
  file.rb

Then inside your files within the directories you would have something like

models/prefix/file.rb

module Prefix
  class File < ActiveRecord::Base

  end
end

To use them you would need to have code like this Prefix::File.some_method
