Default Outlook Subfolder Order

Under my “Drafts” I have 4 subfolders that are ordered alphabetically. These
four folders are month names:

April
January
July
October

Is there any way to change the order of these folders to be in date
order/user specified order?

I’m using Outlook 2002 SP3.

Thank You!

Default Outlook Subfolder Order

Folders and subfolders are always and only shown in alphabetical order.

I'd use

01-January
04-April
07-July
10-October

so that they'll always display in calendar order, but that's just me.

To add to Brian's suggested I'd use

06Q1 - Jan
06Q2 - Apr
06Q3 - Jul
06Q4 - Oct

that way you can sort multiple years chronologically if need be
