To build on noah000006 response, you can now manually reorder your folder with the drag-and-drop functionality. Currently, there is no command to Sort folders A-Z.

To be clear, there is no command to Sort Specific folders A-Z. There is a command to sort ALL folders A-Z: View/Layout/Folder pane/Sort folders/Order folders A to Z.
Also, the manual sort 'Drag and Drop' now sucks. I'm finding I have to redo each one multiple times to get the drop into the correct position.
Overall, "New Outlook" should be relabeled. My vote goes for Frustrating Outlook: Lots of glitz, no glamour, your pockets are lighter and you have nothing to show for it except frustration. Not even a cold shower helps.
Thank you for your reply. I don't have that menu option.
Do you know how I can turn that on?
Hi Teresa_Cyrus , thanks. Yes, I am aware you can manually sort the folders. My disappointment is that I can't sort A-Z. I have to revert to Classic to sort A-Z.
Poor decision in my opinion to remove this capability. In a product that is promoted to be smarter and more productive, we remove this capability so we can spend more time manually sorting our folders.....?
That's fair.
