If I were to to accidentally click, and then click again . . .
and cause them to alphabetically sort- I may just cry. I have too
many folders.

I don't know why -they- chose it, necessarily- but I personally
prefer it this way. I like the fact that if I, say, stay up all
night and have intaken much coffee . . . a bit shaky and
delirious, and happened to click to select a folder and happened
to mistakenly keep the mouse button compressed . . . well, I like
to know that when I come to, I'll find all of my folders just as
I left them. ---- Rather, It is somewhat idiot-proof security-
keep my folders from being moved around by mistake. (I have, in
th epast with other clients, accidentally moved things and had
quite a time finding and fixing my movements.)
