Thanks for the suggestion, and for the kind words! Glad the folder shortcuts are earning their keep with 88 folders.

You spotted the real cause: the folder list was ignoring the sort order Stalwart keeps for each mailbox. It put Inbox first and everything else A–Z, which is how Sent ended up fourth from the bottom. There's a PR up for it, #405:

Special folders first by default. The list now goes Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archive, Junk, Trash, then your own folders A–Z. With nothing else changed, your Sent should jump up under Inbox.
Drag between folders to reorder. Drop a folder on the top or bottom edge of another and it lands above or below it, with a line showing where. Dropping on the middle still nests it, as it does now. Special folders can be dragged too, to reorder them, but they still can't be nested.
Move up / Move down in each folder's menu, for the keyboard or a touchscreen.

The order is saved on the server as each folder's sort order, the same number you found in the Stalwart web UI. It follows you to every device, and other clients that read the sort order will show it too. Inbox always stays at the top.

This issue will close when the PR merges.
