My subfolders in the new outlook seem to be sorted by date of change/creation. How can I sort them in alphabetical order?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I started running into this last week. Today I found that if you go to the View menu, there will be an option for Folder pane.
In the Folder pane dropdown is Sort folders and the ability to "Order folders A to Z"
At initial glance this appears to have solved my biggest issue.
I have done this and there's no option to "Sort Subfolders A-Z"
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you,
The option is not obvious in the New Outlook.
a. The default option is to sort by Custom folder order (Date created).
b. The alternative sort order is Order folders A to Z for alphabetical sorting.
Late to the game because I've put off switching to the new Outlook but if anyone still comes across this issue, Click View> Folder pane> Sort folders> Order folders A to Z. It might take a moment but it will solve the issue. (This did work to sort ALL folders including subs.)
Even this isn't working for me. Very poor show, Microsoft
