I have two parent folders:
1. Outlook data
Inbox
Sent
Deleted
2. IP address
Inbox
Sent
Deleted
Now my default Sent and Inbox folders are under the IP Address folder.
How can I change the default Sent and Inbox items to be under Outlook data?

It's a feature, not a bug.
Outlook shows the messages in the current folder, and if you check the option to "Show Messages from Other Folders", it will also show them in the conversation thread, but will only select by default the last from this folder.
This may be helpful: Under the View tab → Conversation Settings, set all options to "Always expand", and to indent. At least it's visible that there is a newer message you sent.
The other option as you commented is to create a Search folder to include all inbox and sent items and set it as the starting folder for outlook going to "file" - "Options" - "Advanced" and modifying Outlook start and Exit - see screenshots:
