How do I organise my list of favourites into alphabetical order?
Thanks.

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

Thanks - that worked for most of the items in a particular subfolder within
Favourites, but strangely enough, the first 4 items in the list are not
where they should be ?!

Do they perhaps begin with a space?
Or are they folders?

Frank may be right, so I will wait for your answer to him.

The first five items begin with letters, and the second four items begin
with digits.
Like this:
F...
L....
L...
N...
S...
1871 ...
1901 ...
1901 ...
After that, the items are all properly organised in alphabetical order.
Bizarre??

There still may be unprintable characters embedded, but that is rare.
Look at this first:
Favorites May Not Sort in Alphabetical Order
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q259735
This issue can occur if you have more that 193 favorites listed on the
Favorites menu.
To resolve this issue, move the favorites into subfolders, or delete
any unused favorites until you have less than 193
If not relevant....
Close IE.
Start-Run-Regedit
Navigate down to the key that controls the order and delete it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites

This warning on the link frightened me enough to stop me from trying the
Registry Editor:
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Any other suggestions? Otherwise, I'll just live with the fact that I've
got 4 items not in alphabetical order.
Cheers,
Mike.

To work the command "Sort by Name"
There is a limit on number of contents/items
in the Favorite folder, beyond that "sort by Name" command does not work. I
think the
limit is about 200 items.
There is a tiny Q-Sort utility which does sort
then in alpha order.
Also as you say Unprintable Characters that is
also an important point.

Try renaming them? You might have this symptom if the first strings
were Unicode and the others were not. E.g. Unicode F looks like
Null+F in bytes.
