Folder order changes on it's own

Running Thunderbird 140.5.0esr

This has been happening for a few weeks now somewhat randomly. The folders under Mail for one of my accounts keep moving around and are not in alphabetical order anymore. Most folders are OK, but a few either jump to the top of bottom of the list. I can manually drag them back, only for different folders to do it the next time.

The folders in questions are 2 levels down from Mail.

Moved the folders around manually to re-order them, and today other folders are mixed up and out of order.

Issue is still happening even with 145.0. Had a couple of subfolders move around again.

New issue I saw today - when I right-click and goto "Move To", "Recent Destinations" - those are out of order now.
