Niggly Thunderbird problem

[chrissiehope]

Hi

It's not urgent or majorly important, but does anyone know how I can get Local Folders/Inbox to appear in alphabetical order ? I'm trying to get it organised, but when I move a subfolder to 'stand alone' it just ends up at the bottom of the list

All suggestions welcome

Hi chrissiehope,

Any good for you......

Enrique, I have downloaded it , but I notice it came up as a 'XP Install' file ? I will have a go tomorrow & see what happens...

Hi chrissiehope,

Did you check the version of Thunderbird you're running

And read the reviews before downloading.............

From a very recent one............

"I've been using this for a while and it's totally as advertised, very useful. Thanks to the developer!
As others have suggested, Thunderbird 60.2 requires the extension to be installed from the GitHub file for now. Here: https://github.com/Ximi1970/Manually-So ... v1.2.0pre3
I hope they update the one in the Extensions library as well!"

I appear to be on 52.9.1 32 bit & it says I'm uptodate. I haven't got round to trying to install yet - a job for this afternoon I'll post how I get on

Just tried to install it - it's an .xpi file which a google tells me to drag & drop into Firefox. Unfortunately the file is apparently corrupted, so I tried a different route, but it's still coming up as corrupted

Hi chrissiehope,
The one in thelast link looks to be for version 60+ ........not the one you have.

Did you down load from my first link

If so then you need to Google for other ways to do what you want to achieve ............

Try the Manual Sort one from this list.............

OK found the answer on Mozilla Support page It's actually easier than downloading anything -

"Helpful Reply
Go to the add-ons tab
Click on Extensions
Type Manually Sort Folders in the search box
Install that."
