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.

Hi, Priya2024

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist you.

According to your description, to sort your subfolders in alphabetical order in the new Outlook for Windows, would you like to try following steps and see if it can make any differences:

1. Open Outlook and go to your mailbox folder list.
2. Right-click on the parent folder that contains the subfolders you want to sort.
3. Select "Sort Subfolders A-Z" from the context menu.
4. Your subfolders will now be sorted in alphabetical order.

If you want to sort them in reverse alphabetical order, you can select "Sort Subfolders Z-A" instead.

Thanks for your attempts and looking forward to your new updates.

Hope you all the best!
