How to sort groups in new V10 address book, Groups in the new address book are unsorted. How can I sort them alphabetically?

The new V10 address book has created a major problem for me.  I have several dozen email groups defined.  In the old address book, they were sorted alphabetically.   There are several groups that I need to use daily, so I preceded their names with an underscore to force them to the top of the list of groups.

However in the new address book, groups are unsorted.  I don't know what the order is. It appears random.  It's going to be a major time waste for me to scroll down every time to find the group I need.  If I can't solve this, I'm going to have to revert to TB V9.

I hope someone can offer a solution.  This is a major problem for me.

I don't use v10 (yet) but I seem to remember that it offers you a choice between the old and the new address book interface. Can't you just use the old one?

If not, have you tried if you can sort groups manually by selecting one and pressing  Ctrl-Shift-Up_Arrow or Down_Arrow  to change its position in the list?

Those both are reasonable suggestions, but neither works.  Ctl-Shift up/down arrow only moves the cursor, not the group.  I searched TBPro 10.3.2 preferences and settings, but didn't see anything for changing the address book.   Just in case it was an install-time option that I'd missed, I installed it on a Win 10 virtual machine, but there were no options for using the old style address book.

This is really frustrating.  I've been using The Bat since V1.6 and have never had to revert to a previous version, but I may have to do it now.  The new address book looks nice, but if I can't change the order of email groups, it's unusable for me.

Thank you for taking the time to make the suggestions.

Please search this forum again and for example you will see George Salnik's post showing the place for address book change: https://www.screencast.com/t/WDmDWdqSNZ.

Thank you Zygmunt!  That solved the problem.  It also makes me feel like an idiot for missing that.
