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 again. It's been almost 5 months since this issue was raised. Does Microsoft have an estimated completion date for this feature in new outlook?

Bump...
I agree with everything users wrote above.
Just want to add that I have many nested folders grouped by categories. If I drag a parent folder to Favorites it doesn't allow to see and move to child ones from there.
It would be unuseful to move child folders to Favorites because they are too many and their name makes sense only inside the parent folder.
Hello this is a very important function for a large volume of folders. Please prioritize this higher as a release. How can I get the move up and down options on my menu? I only have move, and yes it only allows me to move my subfolder into a new subfolder and not in between.
Thank you!
