How to change order of subfolders within a folder?
How can I change the order of subfolders within a folder (on the Dropbox web app). I don't see any way to rearrange the order in which the folders appear. Many web apps allow one to simply drag drop to reorder folders. Can this be done in the web app, and if not, can it be done in the Mac app?

Note that I see it's possible to drag/drop to move folders to a different folder, but that's not what I want - I just want to rearrange subfolders within their current folder.

Dropbox is like a file system, and as such it orders files and folders using the typical sort methods, the default of which is alphanumerically. If you want to change the order of your folders outside of the typical by name, date, etc., you'll need to rename the folders so they sort alphanumerically in the order you wish.
Ok thank you for answering my question (even though it's not the answer I wanted to hear!).
