Hmmm... Do you have any addons/modifications to VS2008 loaded?
If so you might try converting a project on a machine with no addons loaded, all settings on their original defaults and see if that works.
One more really oddball idea... but before I converted I moved my projects from the VS2007 directory to the VS2008 directory. (Another shot in the dark)
Just some random ideas, the first one seems like it might be a real possibility since this does not seem to be a common problem.
I don't see that VS2008 is storing the sortation when it saves it's files, when I look in the sln/suo files the order looks somewhat random, which makes me wonder if some setting or addon is preventing the sortation during load up.

>>>I discovered something though while messing around with it ... after the conversion starts, I get a few messages that say something about "Conflicting Modifications Detected" for several different projects (one at a time) and then it asks if I'd like to save the version I have open over the changes on disk ... If I choose the button that says "Discard in-memory changes", then when it's done converting all the projects are in the correct order. Trouble is that when I then Close the Solution, it asks me if I want to save a bunch of stuff. If say "yes", we're back to them being all out of order when I open the Solution again. I haven't gotten time since yesterday to get back to this, so I've got to see what happens if I reply "no". Hopefully something good. <g>
