    Thank you so much. The "random folder order" was making me crazy after the last update!

    I also would like to sort my subfolders alphabetically, except the parent folder no longer offers "sort subfolders" in the context menu. How do I do it?

    I was having the same issue! The below process worked for me:

    Click on View (next to Home in top banner)

    Click on Folder Pane

    Click on Sort Folders

    Click on Order folders A to Z
