I can't believe how many times I've been asked about sorting items alphabetically in the Start Menu over the last couple of weeks. It's not so simple with IE4, but it's a snap with IE5. My suggestion: if you have IE4, you shouldn't have a problem upgrading to IE5 (which I recommend). Right click anywhere on a Start Menu 'Programs' shortcut and select 'Sort By Name.' Voila! Note, too, that IE5 added renaming functionality for Start Menu items as well.
