is there a way to sort the Favorites list by name? i tried to go to windows
explorer and sort the Favorites folder by name. hoping it would make the
Favorites in ie be by name. but no dice. anyone know if this can be done?

Just go into your Favs folder, right click and then sort by..name or
whatever.

Hi gd :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Alphabetize My Favorites

Clink on the Favorites tab on the *menu* bar, the on the lower bar, and when
the list of favorites drops down, right click on a link and select "Sort by
name." Do not use the Favorites in the Favorites side panel, it will not
work. You may also do it from Start>Favorites

or...

You cannot do it in Windows Explorer. Use IE.

Use the menu option Favorites and when a favorite flies out,
rightclick on it and select "Sort by name"
Don't use the Favorites panel. It must be the menu option or you may
also do it from Start-Favorites
