GeekForLife I keep forgetting this too as I use it so infrequently. One has to do their reordering from the left panel of the File Explorer dialog, not the right panel.
GeekForLife @GeekForLife, please have a look at this important piece of skkmom3:
This hack did re-order the folders in my navigation pane. It placed the quick access folders below my One Drive Folders, and created a line separating the two. This was a little annoying, but I have adjusted, and it is worth the visual change in order to be able to reorder the quick access folders.
You should get a new area in the left side navigation pane and have to scroll down to see that new area which you can sort. After sorting in that area you can check "Show All Folders" again and should see the sorted quick links at the top of the navigation pane. Hope that helps.
