I wish also that wouldn't happen, but I've decided to live with varying
line-ups for now. My preference would simply be alphabetical/numerical.
In other PIMs, I preface folder names with numerals to force a
consistent ordering (for example, for GTD specific folders). Would be
great if that worked with Chandler...maybe one day. You have probably
noticed also how the order of the collections in the account browser of
Cosmo changes with every page refresh. I only use nine collections at
the moment, but with many more that could begin to be very annoying.

My understanding is that there is no difference.
