Mail folder order depends on case of first letter e.g. ';Travel'; comes before ';friends';. How do I correct this?

Yahoo's crazy system of putting mail folders in pseudo-alphabetical order drives me nuts.Mail folder order depends on case of first letter e.g. ';Travel'; comes before ';friends';. How do I correct this?
you don't ';correct'; it.


it is correct.


in the ASCII character set, which all PCs (ie everyone except IBM mainframes) use, upper case letters sort before lower case letters.


just be consistent about naming folders.


then it won't be a problem for you.





in fact, there could be some benefit.


if you value some folders more than others, name the ones you want to come last starting with lower case letters, and the ones you want to come earlier in the list starting with upper case (capital) letters.


and you too, can enjoy the benefits of how computers work. :-)
