Cannot manually sort folders with new Outlook

Hi All

I'm loving the new Outlook, however I'm having real difficulty manually sorting my email folders.

Clicking & dragging the folder, only allows me to drop the folder INTO another folder, but doesn't allow me to drop it in between other folders (meaning I cannot re-arrange / sort the folders manually).

Right clicking the folder and clicking "Move", again only allows me to move the folder INTO another folder. There is no "move up or down" option unfortunately.

It is currently sorting my folders in alphabetical order, but I wish to change this. I have been through all the settings and cannot find anywhere I can manually sort my email folders.

Can anyone assist?

Thank you

Thomas

bumping this in the hopes i will not have to switch from outlook. The entire company needs this feature and how crazy that Microsoft would look over something so simple. constantly needing updates but never updating features that are actually needed.

Yes, this does work, but if windows OS is restarted or shut off, it will revert back to alphabetical sorting and will need done again. Super annoying. I hope we can get a fix for this issue soon.

I have a workaround.

1. Created a temporary folder named Temp
2. Moved all folders into the Temp folder
3. One at a time, I moved folders from Temp to Inbox based on how I wanted them to appear

* For example, if I wanted a folder to appear last, I would move it first

4. Deleted Temp folder

NOTE: Until they resolve the issue, this is the workaround I have found that works

Wonderful! it works!!! Thank you for this.

I wish this reply could be seen at the top. Will many people even look at page 14 of the responses to the original post?

Another confirmation of needing to rearrange folder order. At this time, I cannot even sort the parent folder alphabetically. an added folder just goes where it goes. Going to toggle back to old outlook, simply because of the need for this feature.

This needs to be prioritized much higher, looks like this has been an issue for your users for a year and seems like it would be a relatively small change to allow manual sorting. I use this feature all day, every day in classic outlook and will be switching back until this and a couple other things are fixed. Is there a certain amount of complaints that are needed to escalate this in priority?
