So my good old neighbor, somehow had the order of the mailboxes in Apple Mail moved around and we had no clue how to get them back in alphabetical order. To be clear: we're talking about the folders in Apple Mail, and we're not talking about the actual messages in those folders!
Oddly enough, Apple Mail does not have a menu option, or a right click option, to sort folders in the Sidebar.
Note that by default those folders are alphabetically sorted!
So how we get them sorted again?
In the "Vx" directory, there will be a series of other directories with long names, each representing a different email account.
They kind-a look like this: AF7ABD7D-6FBF-72E7-AB73-3BC12C25FAA8
Note:
You may need to look inside each to see which one is the right account.
Look in the sub-directories (that end with ".mbox") and see if you recognize folder names.
Usually those are sub-directories of INBOX.mbox, or [Gmail].mbox.
The folders of that account should now be sorted again.
