Q.
When I go to Start / All Programs, I get a list that is in an order that is
understood only by the computer gods. How do I get that listing to be in
Alphabetical order?
A.
Whenever a new item is added to the
Start Menu's All Programs list, it is added
at the bottom. Therefore, before any sorting is done, the list is in the order
of how items were added to the Start Menu. To get the list in alphabetical
order, right-click anywhere on the All Programs list and select the "Sort by
Name" option. Every now and then you will need to go back in and do this to
sort out the newly added items, too.
Also, please note that all the sub-folders on the All Programs list will be
sorted in the same way. Fortunately, most programs will add their items to the
Start Menu in alphabetical order, so it is not as noticeable there. If you do
notice any of those sub-folders out of order, then you can sort them in the same
way.
Let me know if you need anything else.
