FWIW, I've always thought the Project listing was alphabetical. It certainly appears that way in the projects I use. Come to think of it I can't even drag items into a different order...
However, if I add a "Collection" to the sidebar in the project then the files within that collection can be dragged into a different order. If all my files are within a collection then the sort seems customizable but if they are outside a collection then they are alphabetical. Similarly if I add an "Item" to the sidebar then that item can be dragged around, even into the folders that I have. David, you could try dragging a folder from the Finder into the project sidebar and seeing if it behaves more like you want.
