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

In the NEW OUTLOOK version, how do I get my subfolders to sort in the order of my choosing? When I switched to the new outlook, it sorted my subfolders in alphabetical order and I do not want them in that order. But when I tried to move them in the order that I need, there is no option to move them around within the parent folder it is currently in. I had tried the right click option from above, and there isn't even any sort of sorting options what so ever now.
