I am using Thunderbird Ver 102.13.0 (64 bit) in Windows. I wish to sort alphabetically all of my local folders. I use these folders to save messages. The folders are identified by subject matter and then by the party (client). The folders and sub-folders should be sorted alphabetically and other saved files should be sorted first alphabetically and second by date.

How do I do this?

Hi, Mill2,

There is a dandy Add-on for 102.13 called Manually Sort Folders, and it does exactly what it says in its name. With it you can sort your folders alphabetically A-Z or Z-A, or you can manually sort them without regard to the alphabetical order of their names at all. You can sort folders alphabetically and then sort subfolders manually, or vice-versa.

How does that sound? Just use the link to get it. If you need any help, c'mon back.
