Files On-Demand for macOS QA
Like others, we have sync'd files from both our user level M365 OneDrive, and also from within the Teams SharePoint channels. Prior to this, the folder structure within Finder would list the channels alphabetically. Now it lists them in a random order (I'm guessing using some hidden GUID from the link between SyncRoot and the cache folder).
How do we get the sync'd folders to show in the correct order again?
User level OneDrive files and folders are fine; it is just the ones linked via Teams/SharePoint which are messed up.

Hi KirkConway - I assume you are referring to the items under the Locations node in the Finder? These can just be dragged to reorder them in the order you like under Locations.

Jack_NicholsNo. I'm talking about the folder structure within OneDrive
If we treat Finder like Windows Explorer; with each sync'd Teams channel appearing as a folder; these previously would appear in alphabetical order; the same as every other folder on the hard drive.
Now they don't; and no matter how we tell Finder to order them, be it by type/name etc; the order remains incorrect and unchanging.

Which Finder view you are using? They are just regular folders, so the file system's normal rules about how folders appear (and can be sorted in Finder) should apply.
If you want to send me a screenshot as a PM, that might be helpful too.
