Thoughts on folders

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.

The sort button absolutely shouldn't sort subfolders. I do think there should be an option to always automatically sort alphabetically, though
- Why shouldn't subfolders be alphabetical? It's logical.
  
  Because people could want them in a specific manual order other than using the alphabet. Well, you could put a number as prefix to order them, I know, just pointing the fact.
  
  I 100% do not want my folders sorted alphabetically. The importance and workflow of my folders doesn't fit into that scheme.
  
  I love the fact that I can drag my folders into my preferred order.
