If you really need this feature ASAP, you can customize the .ejs files in your theme to get a workaround. Just look for where the posts are iterated (usually with site.posts), add a filter after that and it's done.

Just curious. Is there any reason that you don't want to use the draft folders?

[WangNianyi2001]

@SukkaW My guess is that sometimes people (like me) organize published posts in separated folders under _posts. Using _drafts folder then publishing them via CLI will not do the classification job automatically.

Yes, you are right. This is indeed my scene. I need to write and organize a series of articles in seperated folders under _posts.

@suncle1993 @WangNianyi2001 You can set published: false in Front-matter. It's an undocumented feature.
