[neomutt-users] Feature request: Arbitrary sort order of sidebar entries.

[christophe lalanne]

Couldn't you use multiple "mailboxes" specifications to order your local
folders according to your liking? E.g.,

mailboxes =A
mailboxes =D =C
mailboxes =B

will give you A D C B in your sidebar. I don't know about subitems, not
even when using tricky combination of "sidebar_*" options.

Cheers,
