Some how it is now listing in reverse alphabetical order: (Z-A), rather than
the other way round. Is there some setting, keyboard shortcut or mouse
movement, that I've missed? I want to swap it back to normal.

At top of folder list is a column header named 'Folder'. Left-Clicking on
this should affect the order of the folder shown below it. Also, right-
clicking on this header will reveal a menu with an entry named 'Sort
Entries'. This actually allows manual folder sorting, but I believe that the
auto option is what you actually want, but with reversed sequence (obtained
as mentioned above).

HTH

Thanks, sorted; I'd not noticed that I'd reversed the sort order of that
list, nor realised that it affected the folder listing order in the "move
to" menu.
