In IE: Click on Favorites, (the word, not the icon), Right Click on a
blank part of the drop down box > Check: Sort by name.
 
Hi Mike,

In addition to Bruce's advice:

If you want the Favorites sorted automatically (on-the-fly sorting), try this advice from Keith Miller:

Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to:

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Menu Order\Favorites

and delete the value named 'Order'. Also delete this value for any subfolders. Then, with the favorite key highlited, click on Edit > Permissions and deny 'Full Access' to Administrators, yourself, etc. This will prevent the key from being automatically recreated.

Does anybody know how to have Favorites sorted
alphabetically?
Thanks
 
Bruce, XP Pro doesn't offer that option it seems. However I solved the problem using the registery key Ramesh offered. It doesn't take effect until all browsers are closed and you reopen IE.

Thanks guys for the tips.
 
You have to open Favorites from the top Toolbar in order for Sort By Name to
work.
Sort by Name doesn't work in the Favorites pane.
