Nope, I tried these steps several times, in fact, but I still see the folders in reverse alpha order. I guess I'm stuck with a backwards alphabetically ordered list of mail box folders. Nice try and thanks for the suggestion. It's strange though; I never had this sorting problem before I upgraded to Mavericks. I'm not in the mood to blow away all mail settings and do them over. Take too much time so I guess I'll put up with this order unless I come across another solution. I could manually sort them by moving folders around but that sounds tedious too.
Thanks for the helpful reply. Oh Robert, thanks for your tip but I was referring to mail box folders and not messages. My message lists are fine and sort they way I want.
