How to change the mailbox order on left column of Mail

For years the left column of Mail has had the mailboxes in a specific order. I turned the iMac on today and they are in a different order. This is causing grief when trying to review my email. Instead of a column of email addresses I also have an email address, then a number of sub-folders that I have not used in years and have no use for. How do I re-arrange the left column of Mail in Big Sur Ver 11.6?

Thanks for the replies. Each email address has a number of folders under it, ie... Inbox, sent, junk.... I can move those folders around within each email listing. But the email addresses listed along the are all grayed out, so I cannot move them to reorder the mailboxes themselves.

... apple@gmail.com <----- Grayed out

Inbox: \

Sent: \____ can be moved around

Junk: /
