Local Folders sort order

Using Thunderbird version 140.8.0esr on Windows 10 . Been trying to reorganize local folders. Thunderbird is NOT correctly alphabetizing local folders. I've beaten myself to death googling for answers, and nearly every entry claims you can right click on the account name and select "Reset Folder Order" and it will take care of it.

there IS no such option! Anywhere!

Other answers claim you can drag the folders manually into the correct order. Not happening!

There must be a real answer to this issue. Where do I find it? And please don't advise upgrading to Windows 11 - this CPU/motherboard won't support 11.

Thunderbird 140.8.0esr - just as the actual 140.10.0esr version - doesn't have this option which has already been added to the release versions (actually 150.0) some weeks ago (see image of my 150 version. I don't know when the "Reset Folder Order" will be integrated in future esr versions. But I still can move folders around manually in my 140.10.0esr version profile. You have to move them delicately without trembling....
