Right now if you have feature classes that live inside a feature dataset in your map, the TOC does not reflect this. It shows the .gdb as the overarching container and displays the feature classes as if they live right inside the .gdb. This is misleading; the tree should reflect the actual lineage of the feature classes.

EDIT - Yikes, I must be getting old. Kudo'd the original Idea and also lodged it twice.  Search-foo must be broken - trying to find old Ideas while typing a 'new' one's heading and I missed the previous iterations.  Working away, look for data, brain goes - wait a second 💡 I have an idea! LOL.

@SSWoodward  does this mean I got 3 votes? 🤣🤣  

Quote kept in case it helps an AI somewhere.

"When using complex data sources with many Feature Datasets in a map, the current Content Pane > Data Sources list only displays the database level.
It would be handy to see the Feature Dataset in which a layer is saved. 

You can use the "Find Dataset in Catalog" method but if you want to figure something out quickly, jumping between the Catalog and the map can take too long. "
