Separating/Displaying Prototypes Nicely

I have seven published (finished) games on my Itch page. I would like to add a few (now, and more later) unfinished prototypes, too, to get feedback.  But, I'm not sure how to display them nicely, since there are no "categories" or headers or anything I can use to separate my games.

If I lump them all together, I might get people thinking I only make small/weird/unfinished prototypes, and I would rather get eyes on completed games first/more (although maybe I shouldn't care about this).

How have other people handled this? What can you recommend?

It looks like Collections are a nice way to handle this. But how do I display a game only in a collection? And is that the right way to go?

You can always hide games from your creator profile, and only show them in a collection. You can also reorder them, so that the games you want to emphasize come first, and the prototypes at the bottom. But people will scroll down, and click on what looks more interesting to them anyway. If they find your prototypes more attractive, that's a clue. ;)

Thanks! That's what I ended up doing. The main clue was when I looked at @leafo's profile.
