ItweakU LE (freeware)
by aliunde - 12/7/07 9:02 PM In reply to: Putting "favorites" in alphabetcal order by Retired 10You can alphebetize all your favorites at once with the program ItweakU LE. Version 4.19 is the latest and can be downloaded here:

The makers of ItweakU are no longer in business as far as I can tell, but you can still find places to download the program. The "Limited Edition" ("LE") version won't let you use all its functions, but the alphabetize one is fully functional.

Sorting names in Favorites
by Denise Neve - 12/8/07 4:46 AM In reply to: re: putting favorites in alphabetcal order by fubijar36I am not sure about IE 7 as I prefer the latest version of IE 6 so try and see i this works for you. Click on Favorites at the very top of your toolbar, then right click on any of the drop down names even if those are in alphabetical order and choose "sort by name". Hope it works for you in your version.

I use a program called "Q-Sort" by www.hyperq.com. It sorts both start menu and favorites automaticaly every time you boot-up or restart. Have been using it for at least 6-7 years. It's cheap and has a 30 day trial.

Un-alphabetized
by Cursorcowboy - 12/10/07 5:21 AM In reply to: Related question by RockieDThe article [Q17748] explains that when you view the Start menu or the Favorites menu, shortcuts and folders may not be in alphabetical order and can occur because you have manually rearrange the shortcuts or folders at one time or another which is accomplished by right-clicking an item in a folder or a folder and while holding the button move the highlighted item to a different location and then releasing the mouse.

by RockieD - 12/10/07 1:10 PM In reply to: Un-alphabetized by CursorcowboyI keep my Favourites in my own particular order, or I try to, using this method. But ever so often, seemingly randomly, they go back to alphabetical order.
