Guru Granth Sahib groups the hymns of the Sikh scripture by raga, the musical mode each hymn is set to be sung in, from Siri Rag at the opening through Sarang, Malar and the other modes to Jaijawanti near the close. The Sikh scripture is organised by melody rather than by author, date or subject, so raga is the grouping this category uses, following the text's own structure rather than imposing one.
