I have my photos classified by year taken, month, specific event, sub events.
I can sort the months by putting the month number in front of the title for the specific event. However the sub setting of the events is being lost. Many events have important stages or categories.
How can I preserve these?
Thanks

I assume you are discussing Lightroom Classic and not Lightroom, but you haven't really made that clear.
The depth of the subfolders name is limited by the operating system (there is a limit on the total number of characters in the full path name) and also Lightroom Classic (I think this is Windows only) does not allow the panel to be wide enough to handle very long folder/subfolder names. You can try hiding the parent folder in the Lightroom Classic folder panel to see more characters in the of the subfolder name.
However the sub setting of the events is being lost. Many events have important stages or categories. How can I preserve these?
In my opinion, the best way to preserve this information is by using metadata and not folder names. The important stages or categories should be keywords. Even the event itself should be a keyword. There are many advantages to using keywords and other metadata to store information instead of putting it into folder names.

Hierarchical keywords are the answer.
