Have an interesting problem that I've been seeing for the past few months.
The favorites links that I have manually arranged for ease of use will
occasionally sort itself by name, thus ruining my manual organization. I
then have to redo the manual arrangement and find that after a week, the
resort by name happens again! This is getting frustrating!

Any idea of why this is doing it?

I am not 'sorting by name' in this folder so I'm not sure why this is doing
it occasionally.

Anybody have any idea why this would be happening? I tried rearranging the
order manually again this past week and sure enough, it automatically
alphabetized them again this weekend!!! This is getting to be a real pain!

Matt,
I don't claim any great expertise, but I have noticed that when
you rearrange favorites using the IE organize favorites option,
they will ultimately resort to alphabetical. Try dragging and
rearranging in the actual favorites (not organize) menu. I do
it this way and them seem to stay in the sequence I place them.

Hope that helps!
