    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.

    This is a good example of a great function in the older version of outlook the ability to sort my subfolders to sort in the order of my choice, that is now NO LONGER an option... It would be nice when Microsoft rolls out the so called Improved Options - that you don't take away functionality that continues to give the user more control of what they want to see in their outlook... you always say you are looking to improve the user experience.... but seems like that is not always the case... ;o(
