Open the task groups window and go to the Naval Organization tab. If you've created extra task forces they should be listed in the large box on the left. Select one of these task forces and click the 'Add Branch' button and give it an appropriate name; for example you may create a branch called "Freight" if you intend to make that your task group for freighters. You can then select your various existing task groups from the drop down box on the top normally, and use the "Add TG" button to add all ships from that group to the selected branch (or add an individual ship by clicking on it in the "Ships in Task Group" box in the top right of the window and clicking "Add Ship" button).Yes, I've already done that, but the problem is that in the task force window all the task groups are listed under my "Imperial Fleet HQ" and not under the "Civilian Fleet HQ". I don't know how to move the task groups that I've so patiently organized in the Naval Organization tab.
Once you have some ships in your newly created branch, select the branch and click the "Branch Only" button to create a new task group of the same name containing all ships in that branch and assigned to the branch's parent task force.
You can also have sub-branches and various other organizational aids. Play around with it.
