I am having trouble reorganizing my folders in the NEW Outlook Preview for Windows

I have switched to using the NEW Outlook for Windows. Everything was fine until I tried to reorganize my folders. I want to put them in specific order but when I try to move them I cannot move main folders to a new main position. It will only let me put them into another main folder. I have an order with main folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders, etc. When I switched to the NEW Outlook it alphabetized my folders which put them out of my order. I went to drag them into their proper place but it will only let me put them into other main folders. I cannot seem to figure out how to put main folders in between other main folders. It used to show a little gray box when I was about to insert a folder into another folder and a line when I was going to drag it in between other folders. Now it is only the little box that makes it go into the other folder.

    This is one of the most annoying things I have to deal with. I took time to organize my folders the way I need them and now my old outlook is disconnected and I am wasting time working with folders that are not in order I want them to be. Please change that and give us option to organize our folders the way it works for us users. I hate it!

    I am writing this in August 2024 and the new version of Outlook STILL appears to have the same issue - swapping back to the old version also!
