Cannot manually sort folders with new Outlook

Alos wanted to bump this up, super important for people like me who have over 50+ folders to sort through. I have a custom list in the Classic version of Outlook that I would like to maintain in the new version (September 2023!)

Hi there,

I would also like to bump the important of this, as my file naming convention has been automatically sorted, which causes isssues. Example below:

Old Outlook

5.1.1.

5.1.2.

5.1.3.

5.2.1.

5.2.2.

5.3.1.

etc....

New Outlook

5.1.1.

5.1.10.

5.1.11

5.1.2.

5.1.21.

5.1.22.

5.1.3.

Not sure why the automated sorting is prioritising the first number in the string.

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!

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.

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

Bump...
