Rearrainging file lists

[caesar]

I need to manually rearrange a list of items in a file
folder. I.E. I can't use the auto arranging features
(thumbnails,tiles,icons or 'arrange icons by' options)
because some of my lists are over 50 items long so
rearanging them using large icons is not practical and
even
then they automatically revert to their previous order
when in list view. Unchecking auto arrange in 'Arrange
icon by' was suggested but this option is not available
in 'list' view. I could manually arrange files in
the 'list' view when I had Windows 98. I now have XP
Home.
Help!
And thank you!

F*ck off idiot. You've been told. The answer doesn't change.

A List View is always sorted, on which ever order you select. You
cannot have an arbitrary order. Name items in such a way that the
order is meaningful; if you want them divided in groups, use sub-folders
