Review for Manually sort folders by Stretchy
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Would probably be great if it worked in TB60!
An alternative manual method is to create a user.js file in your Thuderbird profile with these these copied lines from your pref.js where you can manually order them
user_pref("mail.accountmanager.accounts", "account4,account1,account3,account2");
user_pref("mail.accountmanager.defaultaccount", "account4");
