After the recent update to 38.1.0, my local folders have moved to the bottom of the accounts list; how do i get them back to the top?

I have 30+ acounts organized in thunderbird and I have structured the accounts list to get a quick overview of all accounts. the recent update of thunderbird changed things around significantly; now the local folders are at the bottom on the list and imap accounts are on top. i cannot find a way to change where local folders display; the "manually sort folders" add-on does not help with the position of local folders vs other accounts. What am I missing? Any thoughts?

Chosen solution

I found the solution: the "Manually Sort Orders" add-on was corrupted after the Thundebird upgrade. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and the option to put local folders on top worked again.
