Cannot manually sort folders with new Outlook

Anonymous

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

My solution was to number the folders. and thus i´m able to reorder the files, for example, 00_xxx becomes the first , 001_xxxx the second, etc...

This is not a practical solution for people like myself, who has over 50+ folders, that I have to often re-organize.

I also don't think that will help with the ability to create sub-folders, or folders nested within folders.
