Hmm. I have, at present, three physical volumes comprising the media that LR Classic 13.1 has imported original files from in that list in the Folders panel. They never change place on the Folders panel.
The reason for this is probably because, when I set them up, I drilled down through the directory hierarchy on the volumes to the root of the photo storage directory trees and then told LR to "Hide Parent Directory" on all folder hierarchies above (or below, per your perspective) that point. So I don't see, in LR, all the other directories on the volumes; only the entire directory of original image files starting at its local root. Any other directory/file manipulations on these volumes is therefore invisible to LR Classic, and cannot reorder the placement of the volumes in the Folders listing. There's no need to see the entire directory tree structure of the import volumes, only the directory trees from which you have imported files, which should always have a single root.. that's my logic behind setting it up this way. That's my conjecture anyway.
