My subfolders in the new outlook seem to be sorted by date of change/creation. How can I sort them in alphabetical order?

That's insane. Thanks for posting this. I really, really, really dislike the latest version of Outlook. So many old features are either gone or work very strangely, like this.
Thank you! This works!
Thank you for this! The folder pane really should update automatically when folders are added or renamed. At least give us the option to refresh or manually sort our folders.
Edit: I just found another post on this issue. Apparently, they're planning to rollout manual sorting starting in August for the Preview version and September for the stable/public version.
I accidentally found a solution. Select the folder with subfolders you want to sort alphabetically, choose 'open in new window', and close the old window. In the new window the subfolders are sorted alphabetically all of a sudden.
But indeed, a **** answer from Microsoft (do they know their own software??). Hope this helps you!
Yes, my wife is experiencing it right now. Hey Microsoft - provide an update Please!
