    Follow these steps:

    Select Email Folder/SubFolder

    From Menu Click on View

    Click on Folder Pane

    Click on Sort Folders

    Select either Order Folders A to Z, or Custom Folder Order

    The pic I created won't load to this post.

    Hi! I just figured this out right now and wanted to share it with all of you as I was frustrated to say the least. Open your Outlook and at the top click on View next to Home. Once that opens there is an option called Folder pane. When you click on that it will give you a list, click on Sort Folders then click Order folders A to Z.

    THANK YOU! Finally something that worked!

    Hi,

    I am trying to sort my folders by alphabetical who they are from and it will not work. Any way that I try to sort it, it will only show in date order. How do I fix this?

    Thanks,
