There is an add-on called manually sort folders in Thunderbird.
The explanation gives so little information that I don't know what
it does. Sort usually means alphabetize. Here, perhaps the
person means arrange as desired. But no mention is made about
whether you can move a folder from one account to another. I
doubt it. Any sorting would, I would think, be limited to the
account where the folder is. But I haven't used it so I am not
saying that as more than a guess or opinion.
You may be able to do at least some of what you want if you get
sighted help to tell you what the buttons do. for example, one
may be a move up and another may be a move down button. You may
want to find out what they do before using them, or you may want
to see what the buttons do by experimenting. One button may
automatically reorganize columns and you may not want that.
I didn't assume what you knew or didn't know about first letter
navigation. I said what I did because a lot of people don't know
you can use more than the first letter when moving. Also, the way
the add-on description mentioned using more than one letter may
not have been clear. At times, I give information even if I think
the person knows it because others may well be reading the thread
and I don't want to assume what they know.

Despite the first letter navigation which is useful it would
still be more efficient if the accounts could be arranged
according to a priority. There are many folders beginning with
the same letter.

You can move from folder to folder even if they are
different accounts. You aren’t restricted when you move
to the account you are in.

I have several email accounts set up in TB and want to
have certain account folders at the top of the tree
view.

I reread your message. You talk about
rearranging folders. I don’t know what you want
to do. I had originally thought you wanted to
rearrange headers such as having the from line
spoken before the subject line but you asked about
rearranging folders. So I don’t know if what I
said applies to what you want to do. Please give
an example.

As far as I know, the only add-on that
does what you want is an NVDA add-on. There
is a Thunderbird add-on that provides first
letter navigation in the folders treeview.

Win10 21 h2, Jaws 22 and current TB.
Is the add on for moving folders manually
accessible and does it work well?
Thanks, Marie
