On the taskbar? Or did you mean Start Menu? In the Start Menu, right click
and select Sort by Name.

When using Internet Explorer, this works independent of the start menu. To
sort: Click on Favorites in the menu (not the toolbar icon). Right click on
the list that appears and again choose Sort by Name.

New items will be added to the end of the lists. You'll need to repeat the
above every once in a while to get new additions listed alphabetically too.

Thank you so much for the great(simple) explanation of what I needed. It took
me a long time to find this "place" but I am so thankful that I did. Thank
you so much!

Hi,

You can just right click a entry in your favorites, and then choose Sort by
Name.

Thank you so much for being very simple in your explanation. I am just
learning my way around and don't always know exactly what to call things but
you have managed to answer this perfectly.
I would like to add that I wish there was a public listing of people that
are helpful like you so that people like me...could just do a one click email
and then get an easy reply. I am not one to be a "chat person" and so I don't
know my way around the HELP places to well.
Once again....thak you.
