Alphabetize IE Favorites

When you add a new Web page to Internet Explorer's Favorites menu, the program places it beneath the other items. Fred Mehlos of Grafton, Wisconsin, asks how to alphabetize this chronological list of pages. The answer is simple: Right-click any item on the menu, and select Sort by Name. This sorting, unfortunately, doesn't affect the contents of submenus; you'll have to repeat this process for each submenu you want sorted. Alternatively, you can manually sort the menus by dragging items up and down to place your favorite sites at the top.
