Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008"Favorites" not in alphabetical order
Am using Windows XP (SP2). When I open Internet Explorer and click on FAVORITES and add a new folder to FAVORITE, the added folder does not go into its proper space in alphabetic order with the list of existing Favorites. Instead it is listed on the end of the Favorite list, NOT in alphabetic order. How do I get these newly added folders in alphabetic order. I have about 10 folders on the end of my list of alphabtetized folders that I would like to get in proper order to make searching a bit easier. Gene  SignatureGene B Expand the Favorites menu, right click on any entry and select Sort by Name.

You may want one or more of your favorites near the top of your list to keep them handy. You can always drag an entry to a "better" place in your list. > Am using Windows XP (SP2).

You can also drag them where you want or use the organise favourites bit I had the same problem. Sorting alphabetically with "order by name" affects only the order favorites are shown when you just list them but not when you want to add a new one. If this happens, export your favorites to a bookmark.html file, then delete all entries in the favorites folder in "Documents and settings" and reimport the bookmarks into your now empty favorites list. I did it by importing them first to another pc and then importing them from there. Someone else proposed to restart the pc or login as another user. You may have to try the best method, but eventually it should work. > Am using Windows XP (SP2).

Just sort by name again. There's no need to bother with exporting and re-importing. -- Nightowl Volker <Volker@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on Fri, 23 May 2008: >I had the same problem.
