FWIW, I've always thought the Project listing was alphabetical. It certainly
appears that way in the projects I use. Come to think of it I can't even drag
items into a different order...
However, if I add a "Collection" to the sidebar in the project then the files
within that collection can be dragged into a different order. If all my files
are within a collection then the sort seems customizable but if they are
outside a collection then they are alphabetical. Similarly if I add an "Item"
to the sidebar then that item can be dragged around, even into the folders that
I have.
David, you could try dragging a folder from the Finder into the project sidebar
and seeing if it behaves more like you want.
