Hi folks, have a quick question.
I have a friend who has a ton of favorites organized into folders, and we can find no way to sort alphabetically. I looked at MS’s KB, and they indicate that you’re supposed to be able to right-click anywhere in the Favorites menu and see a “Sort by Name” command. That “sort by name” command is nowhere to be found on her computer. Is there any way to get it back? Or rather, to have it show up in the first place?
Thanks for your help.
Charlie T.
Thank you kindly! 
A five-second answer to a fifteen-minute problem.
…but it took me 15 minutes to try and figure out how to write it down…my screenshot was too large in irfanview, and the reduced size didn’t show the wording clearly. 
…
Thanks all,
My problem was that I was trying to click in the Favorites Pane on the left side of the browser window instead of in the drop-down menu. I actually tried the registry order key delete thing and it had no effect (the computer is running W2K). It seemed almost insane to me to require a registry edit just to do a stupid simple thing like sorting, so I’m glad it turned out to not be a big deal.
Now onto bigger and better things. 
Thanks again,
Charlie T.
I must have reached the 193 coz my favorites no longer will sort by name, and Ive wondered why because I used it often (since it stopped working), now I know, thanks to your post.
Hi Bruce, I would have arrived at around the 195 folders mark, not just individual fav site links, and there a heaps of links within those folders. The screenshot looks like links, rather than folders? I noticed that mine began resisting the “sort by name” function, when I created more new folders after some saved links, perhaps this upset the apple cart, either that or little green men are running around inside my machine having an Irish party!
Hi, Cyber ~
Yes, the SS show just the favorites URLs, not the folders of which I have 58 holding another 1,054 URLs. (I seem to add them faster than I can finish perusing them and prune!) We may have to resort to donning the wizard hat & robe to cast a level 8 leprechaun liquidator.
Either a wizard or don bright red shoes, I often feel as if Im on the yellow brick road and the wicked witch of the north lurks in the dark, poised to pounce. Your idea of a leprechaun liquidator is entering a whole world of possibilities, BUT wait, maybe its the leprechaun that keeps the gremlins at bay

I wonder is there a Windows 2000 equivalent. I still have many friends who are still using Windows 2000, plus I also use Win 2000.
