Sort By Name option missing from Favourites

[Guest]

Does anyone knows what's the fix to get the Sort By Name option back in the
Favourites. Right click on favourites from Internet Explorer does not work.

Any suggestions?

Hi Master Lee

You don't mention which version of Windows you are using, which is always
important information, so I'll provide some generic information that might
help:

Thanks Jan for the prompt response, however like I've mentioned before, it
does not show up the option of Sort-By-Name and the version of IE is
6.0.2800.1106

Any other ideas besides re-install?

Hi Master Lee

Which Favorites button are you using in IE to access the Favorties menu?
The one with the Search, Back Button, Print, etc. Or the one on the top
toolbar? If you are not using the one on the top toolbar, try that one and
see if the option is there.

also........

Here's a free small utility you might try that will organize and sort the
Favorites as you like. Many of the experts use this and recommend it as
well.

FavOrg - Free

or Version 1.2 here:

Access Favorites from the menu item, not the toolbar icon.
