Holy Moly! Don’t know what I started doing differently, but I interacted with the mailbox list and there was a “Dave’s Mail” above my top-most folder. I thought I’d give the drag/drop routine a try again, and this time it took one of those out-of-sort folders and put it where it belonged — in the lower list that was a group out of sequence. I continued moving folders in this manner, and the bottom group began to grow in size, and each entry was correctly sorted. What was happening is the upper list that was so well sorted began to populate that bottom list, creating what appeared to be correctly linked to the Dave’s Mail account. I don’t know why that original list (so well sorted, and so very large) was not actually part of the Dave’s Mail account. How I managed to create all those folders months ago in the wrong place is beyond me. So after an hour of messing around with drag/drop I was able to get the top to the bottom, one folder at a time until the whole list is now sorted, and no recalcitrant chunks. Then I tried a very brave experiment. I added a new folder. Crud! It dropped to the very bottom, not sorted correctly. But I closed the mail app and opened again, and be still, my heart, was now in its proper location.
