Its a mystery why Internet Explorer doesn’t do it automatically, but it doesn’t (Does someone need to teach Microsoft the alphabet?) To alphabetize your Favorites, right-click a folder or a Favorite that is not with in a folder, and select Sort by Name. They’ll be alphabetically arranged automatically (for the moment, anyway, you’ll need to do it regularly as you add new favorites and folders to keep them in alphabetical order). Note that Favorites within folder won’t be sorted alphabetically; this trick only alphabetizes the order of folders and Favorites that aren’t in folders.
If you want to alphabetize Favorites within a folder, select the folder so that all of its Favorites are displayed. Then right-click any favorite within it, and choose Sort by Name. The favorites within that folder and only within that folder will be alphabetized.

“sort by” NEVER comes up on my win xp pro; where do you get “sort by”?
