Peter, does "Help 🡒 Contents 🡒 Sorting and organizing mail 🡒 Sorting
the mail folder list" help (if you run Evolution 3.42)?
In the most recent version it says that you can change the sort order
of folders under "Folder 🡒 Edit Sort Order…".

Larry, that does not answer the question how to move Sent and Trash to
the top of the list (plus "easy" often isn't that easy; for example
this might not be about "On This Computer" but about a remote (IMAP)
GMail account with virtual subfolders provided by GMail).

Cheers,
