How to alphabetize my "favorites"

F

Hello. I have about 500 favorites I need to alphabetize
with just one click of a mouse.

I know how to click and drag a favorite which might be
titled "Film" and place it in a list of folders beginning
with the letter "F", but to alphabetize every folder will
take me hours.

Is there a quicker way?

Deleting this registry key makes all the favorites to alpha-sort.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites

You may create a REG or VBS to automate the task across the network.

Use the menu option Favorites and when a favorite flies out,
rightclick on it and select "Sort by name"
Don't use the Favorites panel. It must be the menu option or you may
also do it from Start-Favorites
