    and then you can choose Order folders A to Z

    Not only did outlook jumble up the sort on my subfolders from how it was perfectly a to z before, but there is no option to sort it any more. How terrible. Surely this must be an easy fix for you. I can go back into outlook old version and resort, but it doesn't fix the sort in new outlook which is still wrong. Please fix urgently, I am trying to work here.

    The option is not obvious in the New Outlook.

    1. Navigate to View > Folder Pane and select the dropdown selection.
    2. Then select the Sort Folder option.
    3. Make your selection as desired.

    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.
