Is it possible to change the order that custom folders are displayed in. It seems that new folders are displayed in the order they are created. I would like to move two top-level folders so that they appear directly after (not nested inside) the inbox, and then move the folders I don't use very often (like Junk) to the bottom of the list. If I can't move the default folders, I would at least like to group all of the similar custom folders next to (not nested within) each other.

Dragging a folder to a new location gives me the option to move the folder inside or within another folder, but not to move to below that folder.

Dragging a folder to the top-level "Folders" folder provides an option to "Move to Base" but this does not change the order the folder appears in.

A potential work-around would be to rename the foldders with numbers, but Outlook.com doesn't sort folders alphabetically.

--Note, I posted this as a reply to another form discussion on managing folders, but thought that it was different enough to merit its own topic, and couldn't find a way to move the original reply .
