To work around this problem, collapse and re-expand your Folder list tree to force your Folder list to re-sort. To do this, click the minus ( - ) sign, and then click the plus ( + ) sign at the root 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.
