To all,
There is a pain in the ass way of doing it and it isn't too practical if you
have dozens of links in a particular folder, but here's how anyway.
* Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the Favorites folder
* In the left pane, click on a folder containing your favorite links
* In the right pane, right-click anywhere below the links area, select 'Sort
By' > click on 'More'
* Check the 'Description' box, click OK
* In the right pane, right-click on the favorite link you want to be first
in the sort order, select 'Properties' > click the 'Details' tab
* Enter the number 1 in the 'Description' box, click OK
* Repeat the above steps for each favorite link, numbering it's
'Description' boxes from 2-3-4-5 etc. until all your links have a number in
it's description box
* In the right pane, right-click anywhere below the links area, select 'Sort
By' > click on 'Description' (in Ascending' order)
Note:
You can use this method for just your top 5 favorites for a particular
folder but you'll have to number the description box in reverse order,
meaning your top favorite link would be #5 and your 5th top favorite would
be #1. This is because the remaining links that aren't numbered would sort
ahead of the numbered ones unless you sort by 'Description in Descending'
order, in which case your link order would be 5-4-3-2-1.
