Problem you are trying to solve
It would be useful to be able to re-order the folders in the sidebar, if, like me, you have a lot of folders.
Suggested solution
Perhaps press and hold on a folder to enter a "reorder" mode, where you can slide the folder up and down. You could then do this over and over to eventually have everything in the order you want.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Android sidebar and its folder-list state, then determine how folder order is currently stored and tested. Done means users can reorder folders through a clear interaction and the chosen order remains correct after reopening the app.
