How to promote junk mail folder in Microsoft Outlook for Android

Can anyone tell me how to promote (move) the junk mail folder in the Microsoft Outlook app for Android? My junk mail folder did appear near the top of the folders list, which was great as you need to check it more often than most sub-folders (e.g. "Sent" items appears near the top too, rather than way down under "S"). But now, annoyingly, the junk folder appears alphabetically under "J" - and so it's now necessary to scroll through a long list of folders to get to it. The Junk mail folder is near the top of the list when I log into Outlook on a desktop device, but on the Android mobile app it appears way down the list under "J" and it's not obvious how to move / promote the Junk mail back up the folder list. Is it possible to move it? How?

    Try adding the Junk Mail folder to your Favorites.
    While viewing the folder list, edit your Favorites and select the Junk Mail folder.
