folder display order in mutt
I'm having a problem with folder sort order in mutt. I have indentical
mutt configurations on two boxes, and am synchronizing them with
offlineimap. However, the folders will not sort the same way on both
boxes, and I want the folders in all caps to sort to the top. For example:
Box 1 (non-IMAP, and what I want):
1 drwxr-sr-x 34 nospam nospam 4096 May 07 15:00 ../
2 -rw-r--r-- 1 nospam nospam 0 May 07 14:32 OUTBOX
3 -rw-r--r-- 1 nospam nospam 0 May 07 13:40 POSTPONED
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 nospam nospam 0 May 07 13:40 SAVED
5 -rw-r--r-- 1 nospam nospam 0 May 07 13:40 SENT
6 -rw------- 1 nospam nospam 116331 May 02 09:55 alaskaair
7 drwxr-xr-x 2 nospam nospam 4096 May 07 12:54 archives/
[snipped for brevity]
Box 2 (IMAP, improperly sorted):
1 drwxr-xr-x 76 nospam nospam 8192 May 07 15:15 ../
2 drwx------ 5 nospam nospam 4096 May 07 13:57 debian-security-ann

As you can see, the box using offlineimap is mixing the Maildir folders in
alphabetically in a case-insensitive fashion, whereas the main box (which has a
mix of Maildir and mbox files) is sorting them in dictionary order.
Both boxes are using the same muttrc, as far as I can tell. What could
be casuing the different sorting methods?
