Evan,

In Win2K RC2 (the nearest I've got), you can right-click on the menu and choose Sort By Name from the shortcut.

Right-clicking on the task bar and choosing Properties and clicking on the Advanced tab in the resulting dialog also allows you to do some sorting.

Cheers,

Andrew

In Win95 (and NT, as I remember), the list is auto-sorted -- sometimes immediately, sometimes after a reboot -- but not so here. Clicking the header in Explorer for the folder sorts the items in Explorer, but makes NO difference on the Start Menu. Sorting them in Setting/Taskbar/Advanced does nothing, nor does the above mentioned "copy" action when I run it from here. The only thing that works is opening Explorer, manually copying the items to a "work" Start Menu folder, then re-copying them back to the Programs folder.
