Trying to alphabetize my e-mail accounts under joint Inbox after adding new accounts (one starts with G but appears at the bottom of the list)

My company uses one Thunderbird application for ease of cross-use (we don't hide anything from each other in other words). So we have many, many different e-mail addresses. I found it easier to combine them all under one Inbox/Outbox. When I first entered the email addresses I did so in alphabetical order. Now I have new employees, and I cannot figure out how to alphabetize the combined Inbox so that their e-mail accounts are where they should be alphabetized. Do I need to un-combine all of them and then combine them all again in order to achieve this? I have literally 90 e-mail accounts and don't want to lose anything or mess anyone elses accounts up. Any help you have is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Finally found a plug-in for Thunderbird that allows you to do this very thing. Simply look up "Manually Sort Folders 1.1.1" and install the plug-in. And while you're at it, CONTRIBUTE to the killer person or persons who made this add-on. It works very simply and completely. THANK YOU!
