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

It's just a workaround, but if you close Outlook app and re-open, it sorts them A-Z automatically.
Also, to order them how I want, I have to put letters in front of the folder name ( numbers only work if 0-9, then all the decimals are added first if you have more than 10 folders)
MSFT you should look into this usability feature!!
This does not work in the new outlook - there is no option for sorting the folder order when one right clicks a parent folder. Frustrating!
The sort A-Z subfolders does not come up in the new outlook
One of the dumbest things I have seen M$ do, and thats a big call.
very big call - but agree!
