I dont think so, it will have ot wait till after 1.0.
There's a similar bug report about this for imap already.

There's a bug report about it already.  I doubt it'll be changed for
1.0 though.  IMHO the problem is the shell resorting the order without
you asking for it to.  But others think the editor should sort to match
the shell.

Probably post 1.0 (eventually) it'll be a tree and let you heirarchically
order the folders, and have the shell honour that.
