    Alphabetical Order of Doc & Folders

    Hi,

    I am trying to get all my documents and folders, listed (sorted) into alphabetical order. I have tried but it will only allow for them to be sorted by the following groups at one time.

    a-h

    i -p

    q-z

    Whereas I would like all of the files to be alphabetical A - Z all the time and all together for ease of searching and finding certain things quickly

    Thanks Jane

    Favorites List Of Internet Website Links And Folders Not Staying In Alphabetical Order

    This is Ken. I have still not solved this problem. My Favorites list of internet website links and associated folders is still out of alphabetical order and I can not get my list back in proper alphabetical order. Am I the only person in the world with
    this problem ? Nobody seems to know anything about this. I did right click on a favorite url link or a folder in my list and then selected Sort By Name but this is not putting my entire list of favorite links and folders back in alphabetical order like it
    once was. Who can answer this question once and for all ?

    Ken
