Folders not longer displayed

For me the problem was that in the drop list for All Folders was not rendering all of the folders properly some were missing like the root uploads folder itself and the first two folder and the rest were not in proper alpha numeric order.
The bulk select list was also not listing all of the folders and again they were not in alpha numeric order.
There were folder names starting with the letter b listed after the letter m it was a best effort but badly done.
On this site it is a store selling beer stuff and so far I have made a shit load of directories and sub directories, I like to have things organised.
After the last upgrade I saw the notice to click the button to Make Folder & Save Changes which I did that is when I noticed the problem.
When I looked at the state of the drop lists I realised that the answer in my case was simply with the script not finishing the task properly.
So in cPanel for this site I increased Max Execution time to 360 second or 6 minutes but this did not make any difference when I refreshed the page and opened the drop lists.
I clicked the button in the folder settings again to be sure but the folders were not listed in proper alpha numeric order and some were missing.
So I thin increase the amount of RAM that PHP can access to 512MB and I then clicked on the button in the folder settings and then checked the drop select lists and they were rendering the list of folders in alpha numeric order and none were missing.
So increasing execution time and memory in PHP settings should solve the problem, this is down to load if there are lots of folders an images.
You need to add some information to the plugin info about this so people know they need to increase execution and memory limits for PHP.
