There’s a button to “sort” folders in the settings which sorts the currently existing folders alphabetically. Then when you create a new folder it gets put at the bottom. Can we just have them sort alphabetically automatically?

Also when you click sort, it only sorts the top-level folders. The subfolders don’t get sorted at all.

This is the kind of rough-around-the-edges stuff that Proton really needs to sort out before adding more and more services.

    But that same logic should apply to top level folders. It doesn’t make sense to on have some folders alphabetized but not others.

      But folders organize different things and depending on what type of organization it is, I’d want things sorted differently

      If you have chosen to sort a subfolder, or if you use an option like “always sort,” then I agree. But if you just happen to be at the top level folder, I don’t think subfolders should be sorted when you click “sort,” because they may be in an order that you want and sorting is an action that shouldn’t be destructive (unless intentionally destructive).

      There should be an option for the cascading sorting but it shouldn’t be default. I want to change the things I am interacting with in that moment and not something way down. Maybe there was a reason not to sort it alphabetical.
