SYMPTOMS
After you rename a folder, the Folder List does not re-sort itself.



WORKAROUND
You can force the Folder List to re-sort itselft by collapsing and then re-expanding the Folder List tree. Do this by clicking the minus sign (-), and then clicking the plus sign (+) at the root (top level) of the Folder List.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The Folder List does not automatically re-sort itself if the first letter of the new name is a lower value than the original name, &quot;A&quot; being a lower value than &quot;Z.&quot; For example, if you have a folder whose name is &quot;ZZZZ,&quot; and you rename the folder &quot;AAAA,&quot; the Folder List is not automatically resorted. However, if your original folder name is &quot;AAAA,&quot; and you rename the folder to &quot;ZZZZ,&quot; the Folder List is automatically resorted.
