Right click on any item and then click "Sort by Name".

i might start a new thread for this one,

Interent explorer 6

when you add a folder or link to favorites, it always goes to the bottom of the list and it takes a while to drag it to the top or place i want it, now i dont want everything in alphabetical, but if i want a folder or link at the top, what the quickest way to organize this?

i have been using "favorites" from the top of the browser(rather than the button and menu on the left), which does seem quicker, is there another way?

You can do the "sort by name" in Favorites too. If you want to manually arrange the Favorites just drag and drop them. Same thing applies with icons in the Taskbar by the Start button.
