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.
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

While new Outlook may not currently support direct dragging to reorder Folders. The best Workaround is Renaming folders with numbers or special characters as prefixes can help you control the order. This is the quick way to create a custom order for your main folder :)
I am having this same issue, also, I prefer the classic view of the old outlook better than this one. is there a way to just switch the views back to the classic view?
And I mainly work out of a shared inbox yet when I email it doesn't default to that inbox even though I'm in it like how it was in the old outlook. Please enable most of those features back. The new outlook is horrendous.
