Hi. I have several folders and subfolders created under Local folders on Thunderbird for Mac 140.0 (aarch64). When I create a new subfolder under a particular subfolder the new folder goes to the bottom of the folder hierarchy and not inserted alphabetically in the hierarchy, I have to manually drag the new folder into its alphabetical place in the folder hierarchy. This only happens on this one subfolder all the other subfolders are fine. I have only noticed this recently but it used to be ok and position the new folder alphabetically in the hierarchy. I have tried compacting and repairing the folder but it still stays the same, any ideas?

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in daily development builds by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1973085. It may be a couple weeks for it to reach releases.
