Quote - I mean, I don't believe the reasons they give. There is no good reason to want to move these folders to the top of the list. It's vanity.

There used to be a valid reason with P4 and ProPack due to the limit on folders.
For anyone with even a moderate collection of stuff, ending up with more than 250+ folders was very easy.
Once the limit was exceeded, some folders just wouldn't show up (those that would be at the end of list).
Adding a pling or equivalent to bring freshly installed stuff to the top of the list meant that it would at least show up.
