Sort My Recent Documents alphabetically

When I go to open a file in the new Word 2003 "My Recent Documents" are
sorted by last time used. Anyone know how to get the "My Recent Documents"
window to sort alphabetically by the file name?

Although it can probably be done with a VBA hack, I know of no setting for
that purpose available in Word.|:>(

Hi Squish,

If you're talking about the folder from
the Places Bar in File=>Open, clicking on
the top title bar in the dialog will change
the sort sequence. If you're talking about
those on the bottom of the File menu itself
or in the Task pane, then as Taz mentioned
those are in LIFO (Last in First Out) order.
