RE: "Favorites" not in alphabetical order

 

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.

Just sort by name again. There's no need to bother with exporting and

re-importing.
