correct, sort order IN folders, I prefer to be by number/descending.
quick ('n dirty) way is to replace 

  /> 

with

  sort_key="number" sort_type="descending" />


folderlist.xml

this overrides previous attributes and sylpheed rewrites correct folderlist.xml
on next run.

but doesnt work for nested folders in use (those not ending with "/>" :))

anyway, option for kind of "default" order for all would be great!

thanks!
