Why are my Email Folders not in alphabetical order?

Well, if you're like me, you constantly add folders, as I'm always dealing with new projects, vendors, etc. Apple's default behavior is annoying, and not having an easy way to change it is even more annoying.

Hi Luis, do you work for Apple or just a user. I actually have a LOT of folders and it is truly a pain to get them in alphabetical order on my phone--the dragging and dropping always seems to go somewhere other than where I tried to put it. It's a little easier on my iPad, but I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to add code to give people an option on what they want to set as a default. Seriously, options are so important. There is no one solution for something like this.

Nobody here works for Apple. :(

Feedback - Mail - Apple

I have about 80 folders--I use them for work and I add more all of the time. I wouldn't assume what someone's needs are.

Mail folders, by default are placed in the order they are created, not in alphabetical order.

I am glad that it works like this, because I can organize them in an order that is most relevant for my use. You can, too. After all, we don't create that many folders. If you want them in alphabetical order, just drag them into place, and they will remain like that.

I am just a user like you.

This is a user forum.

I am not against having this choice, but this is something that is not needed frequently - you organize your mailboxes once, I suppose, and they will stay in that order unless you change them.
