Default Select Recipients not sorted - OE6

My address book reads fine and all the folders are in sorted order.
Why is it that whenever I click on the "TO" button and bring up the "Select
Recipients" window, that all of the folders are jumbled?
Is there a trick to get these sorted?
Thank you

Click the column headings to sort in that window. The name field will
cycle through 4 sequences of Ascending/Descending for first/last name
and email will select ascending or descending.

The faint triangle in the heading tell you which column it is sorted on
and either ascending or descending.

Thanks Michael but the problem is with the drop down list of folders that
appears and not with the actual folder contect itself.
eg I get this sort of thing:
Main Identity Contacts
A-Business
A-Friends
Other Contacts
Keep Files
A-Suppliers
Most-Used
A-Customers

These folders appear differently if I copy my address book to another PC but
still not in a numerical or alphabetical sorted manner :-(
Cheers

I've never used folders before, just groups.

Doing a little playing around with it seems to list the folders in
reverse creation order (newest first). I don't see any way to adjust
that.
